About
Martin Tisdall is a pioneering paediatric neurosurgeon whose research sits at the cutting edge of robot-assisted neurosurgery, with a particular focus on improving surgical precision and safety in children. His work has fundamentally advanced the application of surgical robotics in stereotactic procedures, spanning brain biopsy, stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrode placement, and MRI-guided laser ablation for epilepsy treatment. Tisdall's most influential contribution, a 2018 systematic review and bibliometric analysis of robot-assisted stereotactic brain biopsy, has accumulated 94 citations and remains a foundational reference in the field. His 2019 comparative study examining robot-assisted versus optical frameless navigated SEEG electrode placement in children — garnering 62 citations — provided clinicians with critical evidence guiding safer epilepsy surgery practices. His prospective cohort study on robot-assisted brainstem biopsy, a historically high-risk procedure, demonstrated that robotic techniques could meaningfully reduce that risk for paediatric patients, earning 44 citations. Across his body of work, Tisdall consistently champions precision, rigour, and child-centred surgical innovation. His research has directly shaped how neurosurgeons worldwide approach some of the most technically demanding procedures in paediatric neurosurgery.
