About

Dr. Alexandra Montavont is a leading figure in epilepsy surgery, with her work centering on the refinement of stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) for localizing epileptogenic zones. Her major contributions lie in advancing surgical precision and therapeutic efficacy. She has pioneered the evaluation of SEEG-guided radiofrequency-thermocoagulation (RF-TC), a minimally invasive technique for treating deep-seated epileptic foci, as detailed in her highly cited 2019 paper (73 citations). Complementing this, Dr. Montavont has critically assessed the accuracy of different SEEG implantation methods, comparing robotic 3D approaches against the classic Talairach orthogonal technique (42 citations). Her research demonstrates that robotic guidance offers superior effective accuracy, directly improving the safety and reliability of electrode placement. By systematically validating these advanced surgical tools, Dr. Montavont has helped reduce procedural risks and expand treatment options for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Her work is instrumental in bridging the gap between traditional stereotactic principles and modern robotic technology, making her a key contributor to the evolution of SEEG and its therapeutic applications.
