Kevin Hines

About

Kevin Hines is a neurosurgeon and researcher advancing the frontiers of stereotactic and functional neurosurgery. His work centers on improving the accuracy, safety, and efficiency of surgical techniques for epilepsy and movement disorders. Hines has made major contributions to the validation and implementation of frameless transient fiducial registration (FTFR) systems, demonstrating that these methods can achieve high precision in stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) and deep brain stimulation (DBS) without the logistical constraints of traditional frames. His 2022 study on the Neurolocate system, cited 10 times, provides critical evidence for this evolving technology. Hines has also shown that the use of an exoscope significantly improves visualization and extent of hippocampal resection during temporal lobectomy, a key finding for epilepsy surgery. Furthermore, his 2024 work on learning curves for robotic stereotactic surgery offers essential guidance for surgeons adopting robotic techniques, helping to set realistic expectations for skill acquisition. Through these contributions, Hines is helping to shape a more precise, less invasive future for neurosurgical care.
