Nitin Tandon

About

Nitin Tandon is a leading neurosurgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally reshaped the surgical evaluation of epilepsy. His primary research focuses on advancing stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), a minimally invasive technique for localizing seizure foci in patients with intractable epilepsy. Tandon’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the superior safety and efficacy of robotic SEEG compared to traditional subdural grid electrodes. His landmark 2019 study, cited over 190 times, provided critical evidence that SEEG reduces morbidity while maintaining excellent seizure outcomes, driving a paradigm shift in epilepsy surgery. He has also pioneered the use of oblique electrode trajectories, making SEEG more versatile and accessible through robotic stereotaxy. With a practical guide to the technique, Tandon has helped standardize and disseminate this approach globally. His work, spanning from clinical outcomes to technical innovations, has earned him over 270 citations and established him as a key figure in modern epilepsy surgery.
