About
Yagmur Muftuoglu is a leading figure in pediatric epilepsy surgery, whose work has fundamentally advanced the precision and safety of stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) for children with drug-resistant epilepsy. Her research centers on the application of robot-guided neurosurgical techniques, demonstrating how robotic assistance dramatically improves the accuracy of electrode placement while reducing operative times and complication rates in pediatric populations. Her seminal 2018 paper, "Robot-guided pediatric stereoelectroencephalography: single-institution experience," has garnered over 70 citations, establishing the gold standard for minimally invasive seizure focus localization in children. Muftuoglu’s contributions have directly expanded access to curative epilepsy surgery for young patients who previously faced prohibitive surgical risks. By systematically validating the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted SEEG, she has helped transform pediatric epilepsy care from a high-risk endeavor into a reliable, data-driven procedure. Her work continues to influence neurosurgical training and device development, cementing her reputation as a pioneer in the integration of robotics with pediatric epilepsy surgery.
