About
Sophie Peeters is a leading neurosurgeon-scientist whose work centers on refining stereotactic biopsy techniques for patients with diffuse gliomas. Her research addresses a critical challenge in neurosurgical oncology: maximizing diagnostic yield while minimizing complications. In her landmark study of 377 consecutive patients, Peeters demonstrated that robot-assisted stereotactic biopsies achieve high diagnostic accuracy with a favorable safety profile, providing robust evidence for the adoption of robotic systems in routine practice. She has also systematically investigated the root causes of postoperative intracerebral hematomas—a serious complication—distinguishing between errors in surgical planning versus execution. Her 2020 paper on this topic (17 citations) offers actionable insights for improving patient outcomes. More recently, Peeters has explored the integration of 3-dimensional intraoperative imaging with frameless registration tools, showing that these technologies enhance both feasibility and precision (15 citations). With a growing body of work cited by peers across neurosurgery and neuro-oncology, Peeters is shaping the evidence base for safer, more accurate brain tumor biopsies. Her contributions are particularly valuable for trainees and clinicians seeking to adopt advanced, minimally invasive diagnostic approaches.
