Xiaolai Ye

About

Xiaolai Ye is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose research centers on the application of robotic assistance and advanced imaging to treat drug-resistant epilepsy and trigeminal neuralgia. Dr. Ye’s major contributions lie in refining minimally invasive surgical techniques. He has provided the first detailed technical description of frameless robot-assisted asleep deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the centromedian thalamic nucleus for epilepsy (13 citations), and developed a novel approach using FreeSurfer and 3D Slicer to improve the speed and resolution of modeling for stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) implantation (13 citations). His work also includes the first clinical experience with robot-assisted percutaneous balloon compression for trigeminal neuralgia, a procedure with a steep learning curve (9 citations), and the evaluation of a novel self-tapping bone fiducial marker that enhances registration accuracy for SEEG (7 citations). By systematically improving the precision, safety, and accessibility of robot-assisted functional neurosurgery, Dr. Ye is directly shaping the future of surgical treatment for debilitating neurological disorders.
