About
Dr. Jean‑Marc Constans is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose research centers on advanced stereotactic and robotic‑assisted surgical techniques for movement disorders. His major contributions lie in refining minimally invasive interventions for Parkinson’s disease and complex tremors, particularly through asleep robot‑assisted deep brain stimulation (DBS) and MRI‑guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT). His landmark 2017 study demonstrated that asleep robot‑assisted subthalamic electrode implantation yields clinical improvement and therapeutic windows equivalent to traditional awake surgery—a finding with 43 citations that has helped shift practice toward less‑invasive, patient‑friendly approaches. More recently, Dr. Constans has pioneered stereotactic robot‑assisted MRI‑guided LITT thalamotomy for medically intractable tremors, including Parkinson’s disease tremor (2023) and the challenging Holmes tremor (2024). His pilot work on Holmes tremor, a syndrome notoriously resistant to medication, offers new hope for patients with limited options. By combining robotic precision with real‑time MRI thermal monitoring, he is expanding the therapeutic arsenal for debilitating movement disorders while reducing surgical risk and recovery time. Dr. Constans’s innovative, patient‑centered research continues to shape the future of functional neurosurgery.
