About
Zachary Fitzgerald is a leading figure in the field of stereotactic electroencephalography (SEEG), with a primary research focus on improving the surgical accuracy and safety of depth electrode implantation for patients with medically refractory epilepsy. His major contribution lies in the rigorous, quantitative comparison of different implantation techniques. In his landmark 2018 study, "Techniques for placement of stereotactic electroencephalographic depth electrodes," Fitzgerald and his team conducted a cadaveric study to directly compare the tracking and implantation accuracies of various stereotactic methods. This work provided critical, evidence-based data that helps neurosurgeons select the most precise approach for localizing the epileptogenic zone (EZ), directly impacting surgical outcomes for patients with drug-resistant seizures. With 14 citations, this paper serves as a foundational reference for clinicians seeking to minimize error in electrode placement. Fitzgerald’s research bridges the gap between engineering precision and clinical necessity, making him a key contributor to the advancement of modern epilepsy surgery.
