Comparative Feasibility and Complication Analyses of Extraoperative (Bedside) Removal of Stereo-Electroencephalography Electrodes
With the appropriate indications, the extraoperative removal of SEEG electrodes appears to be a feasible and safe alternative to the intraoperative method. It presents potential advantages in optimizing patient flow within epilepsy monitoring units, improving operational efficiency, and potentially reducing healthcare costs while promoting patient comfort. Future research is essential to validate these findings further and refine the bedside technique for broader clinical application.
