Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) procedure provides a unique 3D overview of the seizure-onset zone. Although the success of SEEG relies on the accuracy of depth electrode implantation, few studies have investigated how different implantation techniques and operative variables affect accuracy. This study examined the effect of two different electrode implantation techniques (external vs internal stylet) on implantation accuracy while controlling for other operative variables.
