About
Dr. Savita Sapra is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose work centers on minimally invasive epilepsy surgery, particularly for pediatric patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Her major contributions lie in advancing endoscope-assisted hemispherotomy, a technique she has rigorously compared to traditional open surgery. In her landmark 2018 study, cited 43 times, Dr. Sapra demonstrated that the endoscope-assisted approach—often combined with robotic guidance—achieves comparable or superior seizure control while significantly reducing complications, blood loss, and hospital stays. This work has reshaped surgical paradigms for hemispheric pathologies, offering a safer, less invasive alternative to open hemispherotomy. Her research emphasizes both primary outcomes, such as seizure frequency and severity, and secondary measures like recovery time, underscoring a holistic view of patient well-being. Dr. Sapra’s contributions have earned her recognition as a leader in neuroendoscopy and epilepsy surgery, with her studies informing clinical guidelines worldwide. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how innovation can transform high-risk procedures into accessible, effective treatments, improving quality of life for the most vulnerable patients.
