About
Dr. Jamie Toms is a leading voice in the intersection of neurosurgery and advanced technology, with a primary research focus on robotic-assisted spinal surgery and the safety of deep brain stimulation (DBS). Dr. Toms has made significant contributions to understanding the clinical trade-offs of robotic systems in the operating room. Their landmark review, "Robotic Systems in Spinal Surgery," synthesizes evidence on accuracy, radiation exposure, cost, and readmission rates, providing a critical framework for surgeons adopting these tools. This work has already garnered 18 citations, underscoring its influence on surgical decision-making. In parallel, Dr. Toms is advancing the safety profile of DBS by investigating peri-lead edema (PLE), a poorly understood postoperative complication. Their retrospective analysis of clinical and demographic factors—including patients with Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor—offers the first systematic look at PLE patterns, a study that is foundational for improving patient outcomes. By bridging the gap between technological innovation and patient safety, Dr. Toms is shaping the future of minimally invasive neurosurgery, making their research essential reading for clinicians and trainees alike.
