About

Sharona Ben-Haim is a leading neurosurgeon and researcher whose work centers on the surgical treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy, with a particular focus on minimally invasive techniques. Her major contributions lie in advancing laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) as a safe and effective alternative to traditional open brain surgery for patients with epilepsy. Her landmark 2020 prospective multicenter study, which has garnered 53 citations, provided critical one-year outcome data demonstrating that LITT significantly improves seizure control and quality of life in carefully selected patients. More recently, her 2025 work on mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) further refines our understanding of procedural outcomes and seizure freedom rates following LITT, offering essential guidance for clinicians and patients weighing treatment options. Through her leadership of prospective registry studies, Ben-Haim has helped establish evidence-based benchmarks for this emerging technology, directly shaping clinical practice. Her research is instrumental in expanding access to less invasive epilepsy surgery, reducing recovery times, and improving long-term neurological outcomes for a challenging patient population.
