About

Muhammad Waqas is a neurosurgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of advanced neurovascular intervention and surgical neuro-oncology. His primary research areas include minimally invasive stroke treatment, carotid artery stenting, and the application of robotic technologies to neurosurgery. Waqas has made significant contributions to the refinement of endovascular techniques, most notably demonstrating the feasibility of transfemoral flow-reversal for carotid artery stenting using a balloon guide catheter, monitored by robotic transcranial Doppler—a proof-of-concept study that has garnered 6 citations. This work represents a meaningful step toward safer, more controlled cerebral protection during high-risk procedures. In neuro-oncology, he pioneered a technique for video microscope robotic arm-assisted, neuronavigation-guided glioma resection and regional sampling, enabling selective biopsy of heterogeneous tumor regions to better study glioma biology. Though early in its citation impact, this work underscores his commitment to precision surgery. Waqas’s achievements reflect a career dedicated to integrating robotics and real-time monitoring into the operating room, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in both vascular and tumor neurosurgery.
