About
Dr. Josua Kegele is a leading figure in the surgical management of drug-resistant epilepsy, with a specialized focus on the challenging insular cortex. His primary research centers on advancing stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) methodologies, particularly through the development of innovative implantation trajectories. Dr. Kegele’s most cited work, "Frame-based and robot-assisted insular stereo-electroencephalography via an anterior or posterior oblique approach" (2021, 34 citations), provides a critical technical framework for safely accessing the insula—a deep brain region notoriously difficult to target due to its complex anatomy and functional organization. This contribution has directly improved the precision and safety of invasive epilepsy monitoring, enabling more accurate seizure focus localization. By systematically validating both anterior and posterior oblique approaches, Dr. Kegele has expanded the neurosurgical toolkit, offering tailored solutions for individual patient anatomy. His work stands as a cornerstone for clinicians and researchers seeking to navigate the intricate functional segmentation of the insula, ultimately enhancing outcomes for patients with refractory epilepsy.
