About
Paul Eldridge is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, stereotaxy, and functional neurosurgery. His primary research focus has been the development and clinical validation of frameless, robot-assisted techniques for deep brain stimulation and other movement disorder surgeries. Eldridge’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and accuracy of the NeuroMate stereotactic robot when used with ultrasound registration—a significant departure from the traditional, invasive frame-based methods. His landmark 2006 paper, “Use of the NeuroMate stereotactic robot in a frameless mode for functional neurosurgery,” has garnered 153 citations, cementing its status as a foundational reference in the field. An earlier 2003 study, with 68 citations, provided the initial clinical evidence by successfully treating 51 patients for movement disorders using this frameless approach. These works collectively established a new paradigm for safer, more flexible surgical workflows. Eldridge’s research has been instrumental in advancing the adoption of robotic assistance in neurosurgery, directly impacting the precision and patient experience of functional procedures.
