About
Jiwen Xu is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose work centers on integrating robotic precision into epilepsy and functional neurosurgery. His major contributions lie in developing minimally invasive, frameless robot-assisted techniques for deep brain stimulation (DBS) and stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG). Notably, his 2023 study on frameless robot-assisted asleep DBS of the centromedian thalamic nucleus for drug-resistant epilepsy (13 citations) provides a detailed technical roadmap for a procedure that enhances patient comfort and surgical accuracy. Xu also advanced SEEG implantation by combining FreeSurfer and 3D Slicer software with robotic planning, improving modeling speed and resolution (13 citations). In pain management, he refined robot-assisted percutaneous balloon compression for trigeminal neuralgia, reducing the steep learning curve of this cost-effective treatment (9 citations). His work on a novel self-tapping bone fiducial marker for SEEG registration (7 citations) further demonstrates his commitment to improving surgical precision and safety. With a portfolio of highly cited papers, Xu is shaping the future of robotic neurosurgery, making complex procedures more accessible and reliable for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy and chronic pain.
