Introduction:
Patients with symptomatic generalized epilepsy who are not candidates for resections may be considered for corpus callosotomy.
Methods:
The two patients who were followed in this series underwent resection of the corpus callosum utilizing the OmniGuide CO(2) Laser System.
Surgical Technique:
The OmniGuide CO(2) Laser Systemcan be used in place of the bipolar electrocautery in a corpus callosotomy to improve midline dissection, decrease the likelihood of entering the ventricle, and improve visualization in the dissection.
Conclusion:
The OmniGuide CO(2) Laser System is a valuable option when performing a corpus callosotomy.
