Advancing SEEG Expertise in Brazil: Intensive Clinical Training Course

Expanding SEEG Education and Clinical Excellence in Brazil. In a significant step toward advancing epilepsy care in South America, a specialized SEEG Training Course was recently held at the Hospital das Clínicas de Ribeirão Preto. This intensive four-day program, led by world-renowned expert Dr. Philippe Kahane , brought together over 20 experienced neurologists, neurophysiologists, and neurosurgeons from across Brazil. Comprehensive Curriculum & Hands-On Learning. The course provided a deep dive into the "French-Italian" school of Stereo-Electroencephalography, covering essential topics including:. Candidate Selection: Identifying the right patients for invasive monitoring., Implantation Planning: Strategies for precise electrode placement., Data Interpretation: Mastery of electrophysiological data and functional mapping., Advanced Techniques: Insights into direct cortical stimulation and SEEG-guided thermocoagulation. Real-World Clinical Impact. What set this course apart was its practical integration. Participants collaborated on real-time case discussions, three of which advanced to successful SEEG surgeries during the program. Dr. Kahane and the local team reviewed the surgical data live, providing participants with immediate clinical insights and hands-on interpretation experience. Our Commitment to Education. Organized by Dr. Ameriko Sakamoto and supported by Dixi Medical and our local distributor Micromedical , this initiative reinforces our commitment to expanding SEEG expertise globally. By empowering local specialists with advanced training, we help improve surgical outcomes and quality of life for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
