About
Dr. P. Sarat Chandra is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose work has fundamentally reshaped the surgical landscape for drug-resistant epilepsy. His primary research focus lies in developing and validating minimally invasive, "bloodless" techniques for hemispherotomy, a major procedure for severe hemispheric pathologies. Dr. Chandra’s landmark contributions include the introduction of endoscope-assisted hemispherotomy (EH), which he rigorously compared to open surgery in a 2018 study (43 citations), demonstrating superior efficacy and reduced complications. He further revolutionized the field by pioneering robotic thermocoagulative hemispherotomy (ROTCH), a novel concept described in 2021 (20 citations) that eliminates the need for traditional open dissection. His technical innovations extend to stereotactic radiofrequency thermocoagulation for hypothalamic hamartoma, utilizing robotic guidance (ROSA) and O-arm coregistration (30 citations). With over 95 combined citations for these seminal works, Dr. Chandra’s contributions have established new standards for safety and precision in epilepsy surgery, offering patients less invasive options with excellent outcomes. His work continues to inspire a generation of neurosurgeons to push the boundaries of what is possible in operative neurosurgery.
