Protocol of a prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial of robot-assisted stereotactic lesioning in the treatment of focal drug-resistant epilepsy.

BACKGROUND: This protocol describes the design of a multicenter randomized controlled trial of robot-assisted stereotactic lesioning versus epileptogenic foci resection. Typical causes of focal epilepsy include hippocampal sclerosis and focal cortical dysplasia. These patients usually present with drug resistance and require surgical treatment. Although epileptogenic foci resection is still the mo...
