About
Eric S. Sussman is a pediatric neurosurgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for epilepsy and spinal disorders. His major contributions center on integrating robotic guidance and high-resolution imaging to improve the safety and accuracy of stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) in children. His most-cited work, "Robot-guided pediatric stereoelectroencephalography: single-institution experience" (70 citations), established the efficacy of robot-assisted SEEG for localizing epileptogenic zones in drug-resistant epilepsy, demonstrating reduced complication rates and enhanced precision. Sussman also pioneered the use of novel MRI-based vascular imaging for preoperative SEEG planning (11 citations), replacing traditional CT angiography to minimize radiation exposure while maintaining trajectory safety. In spinal surgery, he developed a robotic-guided reverse Bohlman procedure for Grade II spondylolisthesis (9 citations), combining transdiscal S1-L5 and S2 alar iliac screws to achieve robust fixation. His work has directly influenced pediatric epilepsy surgery protocols, offering safer alternatives for complex cases. By merging robotics with advanced imaging, Sussman continues to push boundaries in pediatric neurosurgery, making high-risk procedures more accessible and reproducible for young patients.
