Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Epileptology
  • Medical Robotics

Background:

  • Drug-resistant epilepsy requires precise localization of seizure foci for effective surgical treatment.
  • Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is a crucial diagnostic tool for mapping brain activity.
  • Traditional manual frame-based SEEG implantation can be time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare robot-assisted versus manual frame-based SEEG procedures.
  • Evaluate differences in operative time, complications, and outcomes.
  • Assess the efficiency of robotic assistance in epilepsy surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective and prospective analysis of 192 SEEG procedures (2000-2020).
  • Comparison between 88 robot-assisted and 104 manual frame-based cases.
  • Data collected on patient demographics, epilepsy duration, electrode count, implantation time, and complications.

Main Results:

  • Robot-assisted SEEG implanted more electrodes on average (10.9 vs 9.3).
  • Mean implantation time per electrode was significantly lower with robotic assistance (8.2 min vs 16.1 min).
  • Intracranial hemorrhage rates were similar and low in both groups (6.8% vs 5.8%).

Conclusions:

  • Robot-assisted SEEG significantly decreases operative time.
  • Robotic assistance provides a safe and efficient alternative for SEEG electrode insertion.
  • This technology enhances the workflow in high-volume epilepsy surgery centers.
