About
Rekha Dwivedi is a leading figure in pediatric epilepsy surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques for drug-resistant epilepsy. Her major contributions center on the development and evaluation of endoscope-assisted hemispherotomy, a transformative procedure for hemispheric pathologies. In her landmark 2018 comparative study, she demonstrated that this hybrid, robotically guided approach offers comparable efficacy to traditional open hemispherotomy while significantly reducing complications and improving outcomes. This work, cited 43 times, has established a new standard for surgical management in this vulnerable population. Beyond this, Dwivedi’s research spans the broader spectrum of epilepsy surgery outcomes, including seizure frequency and severity reduction, as well as quality-of-life measures. Her contributions have directly influenced clinical protocols, offering safer, less invasive options for children with catastrophic epilepsy. Recognized for her rigorous prospective studies and innovative surgical strategies, Dwivedi continues to shape the field, bridging advanced technology with compassionate patient care. Her work remains essential reading for neurosurgeons and epileptologists seeking to optimize surgical outcomes in pediatric epilepsy.
