About
Nagaraja Sarangmat is a leading figure in functional neurosurgery, specializing in the use of robotic technology for deep brain stimulation (DBS) to treat movement disorders. His major contributions center on refining the “asleep” DBS technique, which eliminates the need for intraoperative microelectrode recordings and test stimulation, thereby reducing patient discomfort and surgical time. In a landmark study of 226 consecutive DBS electrodes placed using the Neuro|MateTM robot, Sarangmat demonstrated that robotic precision enables highly accurate electrode placement without awake testing, achieving a low complication rate and reproducible outcomes. His subsequent work on 152 Parkinson’s disease patients undergoing asleep DBS of the subthalamic nucleus further validated this approach, showing significant motor improvement and quality-of-life gains. These papers, with 21 and 16 citations respectively, have helped shift clinical practice toward safer, more efficient DBS workflows. Sarangmat’s research bridges robotics and functional neurosurgery, offering a template for broader adoption of automated, image-guided techniques that prioritize patient comfort and surgical consistency.
