About

Felipe C. Albuquerque is a pioneering neurosurgeon and researcher whose work centers on the frontiers of neurointervention, particularly the integration of robotics into endovascular surgery. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic-assisted procedures for treating complex cerebrovascular conditions, such as intracranial aneurysms. As a key figure in the field, he has helped shift neurointervention from a purely manual discipline toward a future of precision, remote-capable surgery. His most-cited work, including the landmark 2020 study "Robotics in neurointervention: the promise and the reality," has accumulated over a dozen citations and introduced the first-in-human reports of robotic-assisted aneurysm treatment. These studies, published in the *Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery*, represent a critical proof-of-concept that has inspired further innovation and clinical adoption. Albuquerque’s research not only advances technical capabilities but also addresses the practical realities of integrating robotics into the operating room, making him a leading voice in the evolution of minimally invasive neurosurgery.
