About
Long Di is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of pediatric neurosurgery and robotic-assisted precision medicine. His work centers on developing and validating frameless robotic platforms for minimally invasive interventions in the brain, with a particular focus on high-risk pediatric brainstem lesions. Di’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic-guided biopsies and laser interstitial thermal ablation, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional frame-based stereotaxy. His 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis, which has garnered 19 citations, provides critical evidence that frameless robotic biopsy achieves comparable diagnostic yields with reduced complication rates in children. Additionally, his single-center experience with a robotic guidance platform, cited 18 times, showcases the practical integration of these technologies for both biopsies and thermal ablation. Through these works, Di has helped establish robotic assistance as a viable standard for complex pediatric neuro-oncological procedures, directly impacting surgical decision-making and patient outcomes. His research continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in image-guided, robotically assisted neurosurgery.
