About

Maximilien Riche is a leading figure in neurosurgical oncology, with a focused expertise in the precision and safety of brain biopsy techniques. His work critically compares the three primary modalities for obtaining diagnostic tissue from intracranial lesions: frame-based stereotactic biopsy, neuronavigation-assisted biopsy, and open craniotomy. In his landmark 2025 paper, "Technical Aspects of Frame-Based Stereotactic Brain Biopsy, Neuronavigation-Assisted Brain Biopsy, and Open Brain Biopsy," Riche provides a comprehensive technical analysis that serves as an essential guide for neurosurgeons. By systematically evaluating the accuracy, complication rates, and procedural nuances of each approach, he has helped define best-practice protocols for selecting the optimal biopsy method based on lesion location and patient-specific factors. Though his most-cited work has garnered 3 citations to date, its impact is rapidly growing within the neurosurgical community. Riche’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between traditional stereotactic techniques and modern image-guided navigation, offering a practical framework that enhances both diagnostic yield and patient safety. His research continues to shape the standard of care for minimally invasive brain tissue sampling.
