About

Simone Peraio is a pediatric neurosurgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive interventions for complex brain disorders in children. His primary research focuses on advanced stereotactic and functional neurosurgery, with a particular emphasis on the posterior fossa and movement disorders. Peraio’s major contribution lies in pioneering the robot-assisted transcerebellar stereotactic approach, a technique that offers a safer, more precise route to the posterior fossa in pediatric patients—a region historically fraught with surgical risk. This work, detailed in his most-cited paper (2023, 6 citations), has opened new avenues for biopsy and treatment in children. He has also advanced the use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for post-traumatic tremor, demonstrating through a multicenter study (2024, 2 citations) that unilateral Vim DBS can effectively manage this debilitating condition in young patients. While his citation counts are still growing, reflecting the novelty of his contributions, Peraio’s impact is already felt in specialized pediatric neurosurgery centers. His achievements underscore a commitment to translating adult stereotactic techniques into safe, effective pediatric applications, making him a rising authority in the field.
