About

Vasileios Kokkinos is a neurosurgeon and clinical researcher whose work sits at the forefront of robotic-assisted stereotactic neurosurgery, with a particular focus on deep brain stimulation (DBS) and stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG). His research has made significant contributions to refining and validating robotic surgical workflows, helping to establish robotic-assisted stereotaxy as a reliable and precise method for lead implantation in functional neurosurgery. His most influential publication, "Robotic-Assisted Stereotaxy for Deep Brain Stimulation Lead Implantation in Awake Patients" (2020), has garnered 37 citations and addresses a critical gap in the field by demonstrating the feasibility and accuracy of robotic DBS surgery in awake patients — a technically demanding context requiring exceptional precision. Kokkinos has also investigated the operative variables affecting electrode implantation accuracy in SEEG, contributing nuanced insights into optimizing procedural outcomes. His development of frame-based workflows integrating the ROSA-Brain robotic system underscores his commitment to translating emerging technologies into practical clinical protocols. Through his cumulative body of work, Kokkinos is helping shape the future of minimally invasive, high-precision neurosurgical practice.
