Domaine clinique
Domaine des neurosciences

He was the first neurosurgeon in Spain to operate on a patient affected with a brain tumor while he was awake, and he was also the first to use robotics in neurosurgery.

His interest in mapping and monitoring motor and language function in patients with brain tumors centered his thesis and has accompanied him throughout his long professional career.

Dr. Conesa is also a professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Barcelona and has published numerous studies in prestigious scientific publications.
