About
Jordi Muchart is a leading pediatric neurosurgeon whose work centers on precision stereotactic and functional neurosurgery for movement disorders and refractory epilepsy. His major contributions involve pioneering the use of frameless robot-assisted deep brain stimulation (DBS) in children, demonstrating both the safety and accuracy of the Neuromate stereotactic robot for implanting electrodes to treat hyperkinetic movement disorders—a landmark study that has garnered 36 citations. Muchart has also advanced the field of minimally invasive epilepsy surgery, notably through the application of robot-assisted MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) for hypothalamic hamartomas and for completing disconnective surgeries, such as hemispherotomies and posterior quadrant disconnections, when initial procedures fail. His work on highly realistic simulation for LITT and his focus on achieving complete disconnection in refractory epilepsy cases—where incomplete disconnection is the primary cause of surgical failure—underscores his commitment to improving outcomes for the most challenging pediatric patients. With a career dedicated to translating cutting-edge robotic and thermal ablation technologies into safer, more effective treatments, Muchart stands as a pivotal figure in pediatric functional neurosurgery.
