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...
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...
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-...
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...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted stereotactic biopsy is evolving: 3-dimensional intraoperative imaging tools and new frameless registration systems are spreading.
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 ...

BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the accuracy and safety of a novel self-tapping bone fiducial as a registration technique for stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) implantation.
BACKGROUND: Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is an emerging therapy for primary renal cell carcinoma. The authors assessed safety, efficacy, and survival in a multi-institutional setting. Outcomes between single-fraction and multifraction SA...
OBJECT: Frame-based stereotactic interventions are considered the gold standard for brain biopsies, but they have limitations with regard to flexibility and patient comfort because of the bulky head ring attached to the patient. Frameless image guida...
