Depth versus subdural temporal electrodes revisited: impact on surgical outcome after resective surgery for epilepsy

Highlights • Depth and subdural electrodes are effective for presurgical assessment of temporal lobe epilepsy. • No differences in long term follow up were seen between patients with depth or subdural electrodes. • In our series, depth electrodes showed lower complication rates.
