Operative Neurosurgery (Hagerstown, Md.) 2018 September 2

Background: For intracranial electroencephalographic monitoring, stereotactically implanted depth electrodes are increasingly used at epilepsy centers around the world.

Objective: To identify pearls and pitfalls from our experience with stereotactic Leksell (Elekta AB, Stockhom, Sweden) frame-based depth electrode implantation.

Methods: An intraoperative video of the implantation technique was recorded.

Results: A detailed description and a video on how to implant depth electrodes using the stereotactic Leksell frame is provided.

Conclusion: Neurosurgeons implanting depth electrodes for intracranial electroencephalographic monitoring might find the technical nuances and caveats described in this technical note useful for their practice.
