About

Mihir Gupta is a neurosurgeon-scientist whose work sits at the intersection of pediatric neurosurgery, neuro-oncology, and advanced surgical robotics. His research focuses on developing and validating minimally invasive techniques for accessing the most challenging regions of the brain and spine. Dr. Gupta’s most cited work, “Robot-assisted stereotactic biopsy of pediatric brainstem and thalamic lesions” (2020, 44 citations), established a safer, more accurate method for obtaining tissue from deep midline brain structures in children—a critical advancement for molecular diagnosis and targeted therapy. He has also pioneered novel approaches in spinal surgery, as demonstrated in his video publication on “Minimally Invasive L5-S1 Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion With Simultaneous Robotic Single Position Posterior Fixation” (2021, 10 citations), which addresses the unique anatomical challenges of the lumbosacral junction. By integrating robotic platforms into both cranial and spinal procedures, Dr. Gupta is helping to define a new standard of precision in neurosurgery, reducing morbidity while expanding the scope of what is surgically achievable. His work is particularly impactful for young patients with otherwise inoperable tumors, offering hope through safer diagnostic and therapeutic pathways.
