Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Technology
  • Epileptology

Background:

  • Extratemporal lobe epilepsy (ETLE) surgery presents challenges, especially with non-lesional MRI and complex seizure patterns.
  • Accurate identification of the epileptogenic zone is critical, often requiring invasive diagnostics.
  • Augmented reality (AR) may improve intraoperative orientation and safety in subtle or indistinct lesion cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical benefits of microscope-based AR support in ETLE surgery.
  • To assess AR's impact on patient outcomes, including seizure freedom and neurological integrity.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of ten patients with pharmacoresistant ETLE undergoing invasive diagnostics and resective surgery.
  • Utilization of microscope-based AR with intraoperative CT-based navigation.
  • Visualization of surgical plans, electrode positions, and functional structures.

Main Results:

  • High rates of seizure freedom reported (ILAE 1 and ILAE 2).
  • Two patients experienced transient, resolved neurological deficits.
  • AR support consistently enhanced intraoperative orientation for all patients.

Conclusions:

  • Microscope-based AR support improves intraoperative orientation, patient outcomes, and safety in ETLE surgery.
  • The technology is valued by experienced surgeons and beneficial for training less experienced practitioners.
