About

C. Desenclos is a leading neurosurgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of frameless stereotactic neurosurgery. His primary research focuses on the clinical application and technical validation of robotic-assisted systems, particularly the ROSA® platform, for precise intracranial procedures. Desenclos’s major contribution is demonstrating that robotic stereotactic biopsies are not only accurate and safe but also a practical, rapid alternative to traditional frame-based methods. His landmark study, “Frameless robotic stereotactic biopsies: a consecutive series of 100 cases” (128 citations), provided crucial clinical evidence for the technique’s reliability in routine practice. Furthermore, his rigorous phantom-based investigation into the impact of imaging modality and registration methods on robotic accuracy (117 citations) established the technical parameters necessary for optimal surgical precision. This work has been instrumental in validating the transition from frame-based to frameless robotic systems, directly influencing modern neurosurgical protocols. By systematically quantifying the interplay between imaging, registration, and intraoperative CT, Desenclos has provided the evidence base that allows surgeons worldwide to adopt robotic assistance with confidence, ultimately improving patient outcomes through less invasive and more accurate diagnostic procedures.
