The evaluation results, surgical outcomes, and complications were compared. <b><i>Results:</i></b> No significant differences were noted between the SEEG and subdural EEG groups in identifying the epileptogenic zone or undergoing epileptic surgery. Of the 88 patients who underwent epilepsy surgery after assessment, 59.5% in the SEEG group and 52.2% in the subdural EEG group became seizure free. No significant differences in postoperative seizure control or intelligence improvement were noted. The overall complication rate in SEEG patients (8/48; 16.7%) was lower than that in subdural EEG patients (13/52; 25%), particularly for hemorrhage and infection (4.2 vs. 17.3%, <i>p</i> < 0.05). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> This retrospective review indicates that SEEG has low associated complications, particularly regarding hemorrhage and infection. SEEG is a safe and effective method for intracranial monitoring. 2017-07-25 14:08:36 Intractable epilepsy Stereoelectroencephalography Surgery Subdural electroencephalography Depth electrodes
