About
Gudrun Kalss is a leading clinical researcher in epilepsy surgery and stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), with a particular focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques for localizing seizure foci in drug-resistant epilepsy. Her landmark work on frameless VarioGuide® neuronavigation-guided SEEG, published in 2021, demonstrated that this approach achieves high accuracy with low treatment-associated morbidity, offering a safer alternative to traditional frame-based methods. This study, which has garnered 9 citations, provides critical evidence for expanding access to SEEG in adult epilepsy patients, enabling precise identification of deep-seated epileptogenic zones. Kalss’s contributions are pivotal in refining neurosurgical workflows, reducing procedural risks while maintaining diagnostic reliability. Her research directly impacts clinical decision-making for patients with refractory epilepsy, a population often facing limited surgical options. By validating frameless navigation systems, she has helped bridge the gap between advanced technology and practical epilepsy care. Kalss’s work continues to influence the field of functional neurosurgery, offering new hope for seizure freedom through safer, more accessible stereoelectroencephalographic mapping.
