Surgical Outcomes of Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy for Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) has emerged as a safe and effective approach to the treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). The relationship of ablation volume with postoperative outcomes remains an area of contention. ⋯ The findings show a pooled seizure freedom rate of 58% for all patients with TLE and 66% for patients with MTS undergoing LITT. The evidence is insufficient to support a significant relationship of seizure freedom rate with total ablation volume as well as hippocampal or amygdala ablation.
