Long‐term seizure outcome after resective surgery in patients evaluated with intracranial electrodes

Purpose:  Despite advances in “noninvasive” localization techniques, many patients with medically intractable epilepsy require the placement of subdural (subdural grid electrode, SDE) and/or depth electrodes for the identification and definition of extent of the epileptic region. This study investigates the trends in longitudinal seizure outcome and its predictors in this group.
