Accuracy of Depth Electrodes is Not Time-Dependent in Robot-Assisted Stereoelectroencephalography in a Pediatric Population.

Operative neurosurgery (Hagerstown, Md.)
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...

Accuracy of robot-assisted stereotactic MRI-guided laser ablation in children with epilepsy.

Journal of neurosurgery. Pediatrics
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted (RA) stereotactic MRI-guided laser ablation has been reported to be a safe and effective technique for the treatment of epileptogenic foci in children and adults. In this study the authors aimed to assess the accuracy of RA ...

Robot-assisted stereoencephalography vs subdural electrodes in the evaluation of temporal lobe epilepsy.

Epilepsia open
OBJECTIVE: Invasive video-electroencephalography (iVEEG) is the gold standard for evaluation of refractory temporal lobe epilepsy before second stage resective surgery (SSRS). Traditionally, the presumed seizure onset zone (SOZ) has been covered with...

Optimising trajectory planning for stereotactic brain tumour biopsy using artificial intelligence: a systematic review of the literature.

British journal of neurosurgery
PURPOSE: Despite advances in technology, stereotactic brain tumour biopsy remains challenging due to the risk of injury to critical structures. Indeed, choosing the correct trajectory remains essential to patient safety. Artificial intelligence can b...

Robot-assisted vs. manually guided stereoelectroencephalography for refractory epilepsy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Neurosurgical review
Robotic assistance has improved electrode implantation precision in stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) for refractory epilepsy patients. We sought to assess the relative safety of the robotic-assisted (RA) procedure compared to the traditional hand-...

Use of the Globus ExcelsiusGPS System for Robotic Stereoelectroencephalography: An Initial Experience.

World neurosurgery
BACKGROUND: Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is a critical tool used in the identification of epileptogenic zones. Although stereotactic frame-based SEEG procedures have been performed traditionally, newer robotic-assisted SEEG procedures have bec...

A Method of Intraoperative Registration Verification to Prevent Accuracy Errors in Robot-Assisted Stereotactic Electroencephalography Electrode Placement.

World neurosurgery
BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted stereotactic electroencephalography (sEEG) electrode placement is increasingly common at specialized epilepsy centers. High accuracy and low complication rates are essential to realizing the benefits of sEEG surgery. The ...

The accuracy of a novel self-tapping bone fiducial marker for frameless robot-assisted stereo-electro-encephalography implantation and registration techniques.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the accuracy and safety of a novel self-tapping bone fiducial as a registration technique for stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) implantation.

Frameless robot-assisted stereotactic biopsy: an effective and minimally invasive technique for pediatric diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas.

Journal of neuro-oncology
PURPOSE: Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) are prone to high surgical risks, and they could even lead to death due to their specific sites. To determine the value of frameless robot-assisted stereotactic biopsies of DIPGs, when compared it wi...
