About
Andrew W. McEvoy is a neurosurgeon whose research has made significant contributions to the field of epilepsy surgery, with a particular focus on stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) and stereotactic neurosurgical techniques. His work addresses one of the most challenging clinical problems in neurology: accurately localizing epileptogenic zones in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy who do not respond to medication. McEvoy's most influential contribution, a 2017 systematic review and meta-analysis on intracranial electrode placement accuracy for SEEG (143 citations), has become a foundational reference for clinicians worldwide, rigorously evaluating procedural precision and informing best practices. Building on this, he led a landmark randomized controlled trial in 2021 comparing robotic and manual electrode implantation — among the first prospective, single-blinded trials of its kind — providing critical evidence to guide adoption of expensive robotic systems. His commitment to patient safety is further demonstrated through pioneering work on cumulative summation (CUSUM) analysis for monitoring the introduction of novel medical devices. Together, his publications span surgical innovation, quality assurance, and comprehensive technique reviews, establishing him as a leading authority in epilepsy neurosurgery and translational surgical research.
