Computer-Assisted planning for SEEG-Guided RF-TC in Pediatric Epilepsy: Improved surgical outcomes
The RF-TC Target Planning Software enhances the effectiveness and efficiency of SEEG-guided RF-TC by improving electrode contact pair choice, reducing planning time, and increasing postoperative seizure-free rates. In complex situations, such as hypothalamic hamartomas, the software displays its value by reducing the risk of missed electrode pairings. Notwithstanding its advantages, the software-assisted approach may raise transient postoperative neurological deficits slightly. Additional studies with expanded cohorts and extended follow-ups are necessary for a comprehensive assessment of this technique's long-term effectiveness.
