Comparative assessment of stereoelectroencephalography and subdural electrodes in invasive epilepsy monitoring:
a systematic review and meta-analysis

SEEG provides a significantly higher likelihood of favorable seizure outcomes, and a lower complication rate, compared with SDE. However, the efficacy and safety advantages of SEEG were less pronounced in pediatric and older patients, suggesting that age-specific factors could influence the comparative effectiveness of these monitoring techniques. These findings underscore the importance of tailored approaches to intracranial monitoring based on patient demographics and risk profiles.
