🧠 Innovative Surgical Techniques
1. Epilepsy Surgery and Functional Mapping
Dr. Guanyuguang pioneered the use of 3.0T MRI, long-term video EEG, PET-MRI fusion imaging, and 306-channel magnetoencephalography (MEG) for comprehensive epilepsy evaluation. His team has conducted over 6,000 epilepsy surgeries, achieving a two-year seizure-free rate exceeding 80%.
2. Robotic-Assisted Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)
In 2011, Dr. Guanyuguang's team performed Asia's first robotic-guided SEEG epilepsy surgery. By 2020, they had completed over 700 SEEG procedures, setting a national standard for precision in epilepsy surgery.
3. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Movement Disorders
As a pioneer in DBS surgery for Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, Dr. Guanyuguang's team has performed over 100 DBS procedures annually, achieving a symptom control rate of over 90% with minimal complications.
4. Minimally Invasive Techniques for Epilepsy
Dr. Guanyuguang introduced stereotactic radiofrequency ablation for deep-seated epileptic foci, such as hypothalamic hamartomas and cortical dysplasias, significantly reducing surgical risks and costs.
