Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a study on Stereo-Electroencephalography (SEEG) in pediatric epilepsy surgery. The study was conducted at Nicholas Children's Hospital in Miami, Florida over a five-year period. SEEG is a procedure used when non-invasive evaluation cannot adequately locate the seizure onset zone in children with medically refractory epilepsy. The study included 40 patients who underwent SEEG, with an average age of seizure onset at 6.2 years. The procedure involved depth electrode placement using a frame-based stereotactic technique. The study found that SEEG was a safe and effective method for electrophysiological evaluation with a low complication rate. The hospital is currently conducting a longitudinal study comparing robotic and non-robotic procedural outcomes.
