About
Markus Leitinger is a leading figure in epilepsy surgery and clinical neurophysiology, whose work has significantly advanced the precision and safety of invasive monitoring for drug-resistant epilepsy. His primary research focuses on stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) techniques, particularly the development and validation of frameless neuronavigation-guided approaches. In his highly cited 2021 study, Leitinger demonstrated the accuracy and low morbidity of the VarioGuide® frameless system for SEEG electrode placement, a critical contribution that has helped expand access to minimally invasive epilepsy surgery. This work, alongside his broader investigations into seizure focus localization and the epileptogenic zone, has directly improved surgical outcomes for patients with complex, deep-seated epilepsy. With a citation impact reflecting the clinical relevance of his methods, Leitinger is recognized for bridging technical innovation with practical patient care. His achievements include refining SEEG protocols that reduce operative time and risk, making him a key resource for neurosurgeons and epileptologists seeking to optimize presurgical evaluation.
