Epileptogenic LGG surgery with seizure freedom purpose: Supratotal resection (ETT-SpTR) based on Electrocorticography and navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation
The ETT-SpTR is more frequently achievable than radiologically defined SpTR. In our experience, ETT-SpTR yields better seizure outcomes without compromising functional outcomes compared to GTR. In our cohort, iECoG is a reliable technique for identifying LGG-related epileptogenic foci, while nTMS is a trustworthy method for predicting postoperative deficits.
