About

Soha Alomar is a leading neurosurgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing surgical treatments for medically intractable epilepsy. Her key research areas include stereotactic electroencephalography (SEEG) and closed-loop responsive neurostimulation (RNS), with a particular emphasis on improving the precision and safety of electrode implantation. Dr. Alomar’s major contributions include pioneering techniques for robot-assisted RNS system placement, which has expanded therapeutic options for epilepsy patients who are not candidates for traditional resective surgery. Her work on comparing implantation and tracking accuracies of SEEG depth electrodes in cadaveric studies has provided critical insights for optimizing surgical outcomes. With her most-cited papers garnering 15 and 14 citations respectively, Dr. Alomar’s research has directly influenced clinical practice in epilepsy surgery. Notably, her detailed descriptions of instrumentation and technique have become valuable references for neurosurgeons adopting robotic and stereotactic methods. Through her meticulous approach to surgical innovation, Dr. Alomar continues to enhance the accuracy of epileptogenic zone localization and the efficacy of neuromodulation, ultimately improving the quality of life for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
