About
Dr. Poodipedi Sarat Chandra is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose work sits at the intersection of functional neurosurgery and psychiatric disorders. His key research areas include stereotactic and functional neurosurgery, particularly for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and epilepsy. Dr. Chandra’s major contribution is the advancement of minimally invasive, image-guided procedures for treatment-resistant psychiatric conditions. His landmark 2020 study, "Robotic Guided Bilateral Anterior Cingulate Radiofrequency Ablation for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder," demonstrated the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted cingulotomy, a modern evolution of the classic BAC procedure. This work, which has garnered 8 citations, is notable for rekindling clinical interest in surgical management of refractory OCD by leveraging robotic precision to minimize risks. Beyond this, Dr. Chandra has been instrumental in developing and refining techniques for epilepsy surgery in resource-limited settings, significantly impacting patient outcomes. His research bridges the gap between advanced technology and practical, accessible neurosurgical care, making him a leading figure in the field of functional neurosurgery.
