About
Mykola Gorbachuk is a leading figure in the surgical management of refractory epilepsy, with a primary focus on optimizing invasive monitoring techniques. His major contribution lies in rigorously comparing the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted stereoencephalography (SEEG) against traditional subdural electrode (SDE) implantation for localizing the seizure onset zone in temporal lobe epilepsy. His most-cited work (2023, 8 citations) provides critical evidence that SEEG, while less invasive, can achieve comparable or superior accuracy in guiding second-stage resective surgery. This research directly addresses a central challenge in epilepsy surgery: balancing diagnostic precision with patient safety. Gorbachuk’s findings are helping to shift clinical practice toward less morbid, robot-assisted approaches. His work is highly influential among neurosurgeons and epileptologists, as it offers a data-driven framework for choosing the optimal invasive monitoring strategy. By systematically evaluating these advanced techniques, Gorbachuk is improving outcomes for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, making him a key contributor to the evolution of minimally invasive epilepsy surgery.
