About
Sandipan Pati is a leading epilepsy researcher and neurosurgeon whose work bridges the gap between advanced neuroimaging and direct electrophysiological recordings in the human brain. His primary research focus is on the role of the limbic thalamus in focal epilepsy, a critical but under-explored area in surgical epilepsy management. Pati’s major contribution lies in pioneering the safe and accurate use of robot-assisted stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) to explore deep thalamic structures. His landmark 2020 study, cited over 60 times, established the implantation technique and complication profile for this novel approach in 24 patients, demonstrating that direct thalamic recording is both feasible and clinically valuable. This work has profound implications for understanding seizure propagation and improving surgical outcomes in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. By translating imaging-based hypotheses into real-time electrophysiological data, Pati has opened a new frontier in epilepsy surgery, offering hope to patients previously considered inoperable. His meticulous documentation of safety and accuracy has set a benchmark for future studies, cementing his reputation as a pioneer in robotic stereotactic epilepsy surgery.
