About
Oumaima Aboubakr is a rising neurosurgeon and researcher whose work is advancing the frontiers of minimally invasive pediatric neurosurgery. Her primary research focuses on the safety and efficacy of cutting-edge technologies, including frameless stereotactic robot-assisted procedures and laser-based thermal therapies. In her most cited work, a bicentric comparative study (2024, 10 citations), she demonstrated that robot-assisted intraparenchymal brain lesion biopsies are as safe and effective as traditional image-guided biopsies, offering a precise, less invasive alternative for deep-seated lesions. Her second major contribution, a retrospective analysis of 41 consecutive pediatric cases (2025, 2 citations), is among the first European reports on Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) for children. This work highlights LITT as a safe, efficient alternative to microsurgery for epilepsy and neuro-oncology, with her team’s four-year experience paving the way for broader adoption. By rigorously evaluating these novel techniques, Aboubakr is helping to reduce surgical trauma and recovery times for young patients. Her research, though early in its citation history, signals a significant impact on the future of pediatric neurosurgery, positioning her as a key voice in the shift toward less invasive, image-guided interventions.
