Enrico Motti

Dr. Enrico Motti is a neurooncologist and neurosurgeon at Maria Cecilia Hospital in Italy. He performs 500 Gamma Knife procedures per year to treat complex brain conditions. He treats intracranial tumors, vascular lesions, and functional disorders like trigeminal neuralgia.

Specialization and Surgical Focus

Dr. Motti treats organic and functional brain diseases often considered inoperable. He uses pathways that protect healthy tissue and reduce patient impact. His practice covers a broad range of conditions:

• Intracranial tumors and acoustic neuromas
• Arteriovenous malformations and cavernomas
• Parkinson's disease and epilepsy
• Chronic pain and trigeminal neuralgia
• Brain cysts and craniostenosis

The doctor uses Gamma Knife radiosurgery and stereotaxic techniques. Radiosurgery is a precise form of radiation therapy that treats tumors without an incision. These methods allow for high precision without traditional invasive surgery.

Professional Achievements and Innovations

Dr. Motti is an innovator in stereotaxic neurosurgery and radiosurgery. In 1982, he patented a method to interface stereotaxic helmets with CT scans. He performed the first brain implantation of dopaminergic cells for Parkinson's disease in Italy. Additionally, he founded the First European Meeting of Gamma Knife Users in 1996.

Work Experience

• Coordinator of the Gamma Knife Operating Unit at Maria Cecilia Hospital
• Head of the Stereotaxic Neurosurgery Unit at Maria Cecilia Hospital
• Instructor for new Gamma Knife centers in Romania and the USA
• Assistant Editor for the Journal of Neurosurgical Sciences
• Medical library consultant for bibliographic research techniques for 20 years

Teaching and Leadership

Dr. Motti directs professional training at national and international levels. He teaches functional neurosurgery and radiosurgery at the University of Milan. The neurosurgeon serves as an invited instructor for centers such as UC Davis in California. He also speaks at global meetings, including Gamma Knife Society events in South Korea.

Research and Publications

The doctor has authored or co-authored about 100 scientific publications. His work appears in various national and international medical journals. This research focuses on improving outcomes in radiosurgery and stereotaxic methods.
