Accuracy and initial outcomes for stereotactic laser amygdalohippocampotomy using a fully MRI-compatible platform
The authors present the largest single-center experience using an MRI-compatible targeting platform for initial SLAH to treat MTLE. This technique results in safe laser ablation of epileptogenic tissue, with seizure outcomes comparable to those reported for open procedures. Further work is needed to validate its advantages over existing stereotactic approaches and the impact of multiple minimally invasive procedures.
