About

Giuseppe Cinalli is a pioneering pediatric neurosurgeon whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, minimally invasive surgery, and complex epilepsy management. His research focuses on leveraging advanced image-guided technologies to treat intracranial pathologies in children, with a particular emphasis on drug-resistant epilepsy associated with conditions like Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). Cinalli’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of using small robotic devices for image-guided biopsies of deep-seated brain lesions in children, a technique that reduces surgical trauma and improves precision. He has also pioneered simultaneous robotic-assisted laser thermal ablation of multiple cortical tubers in TSC patients, offering a transformative, less invasive alternative to traditional resective surgery for controlling seizures. His early foundational work on robotics in neurosurgery, published in French, helped establish the principles of spatial lesion targeting that underpin modern stereotactic techniques. With over 11 citations across his most influential papers, Cinalli’s impact is evident in the growing adoption of robotic assistance in pediatric neurosurgery. His achievements have positioned him as a leading advocate for integrating technology into child-centered care, advancing safer, more effective treatments for the most challenging neurological conditions.
