Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Robot-assisted stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) is steadily supplanting traditional frameless and frame-based modalities for minimally invasive depth electrode placement in epilepsy workup. Accuracy rates similar to gold-standard frame-based techniques have been achieved, with improved operative efficiency. Limitations in cranial fixation and placement of trajectories in pediatric patients are believed to contribute to a time-dependent accumulation of stereotactic error. Thus, we aim to study the impact of time as a marker of cumulative stereotactic error during robotic sEEG.
