About
Raenette David is a leading researcher in pediatric neurosurgery, specializing in the precision of robot-assisted deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders. Her work centers on advancing stereotactic techniques, particularly for implanting electrodes in the globus pallidus internus (GPi) and subthalamic nucleus (STN) to treat conditions like dystonia and Parkinson’s disease in young patients. David’s most cited study, a 2023 review of the Neurolocate module, demonstrates her pivotal contribution: comparing the targeting accuracy of frameless versus frame-based robot-assisted DBS. This work, with 3 citations, provides critical evidence that frameless systems can achieve comparable precision, potentially reducing surgical invasiveness and improving outcomes for children. By validating the Neurolocate module’s reliability, David has helped expand access to safer, more efficient DBS procedures. Her research directly impacts clinical practice, offering neurosurgeons data-driven guidance for electrode placement. David’s focus on pediatric populations underscores her commitment to tailoring advanced neuromodulation technologies to vulnerable patients, marking her as a key figure in the evolution of stereotactic neurosurgery.
