Among patients with refractory focal epilepsy localized to the mesial temporal lobe, amygdalohippocampectomy is a well-established treatment that can result in seizure freedom in up to 75% of appropriately selected patients. Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) is a newer, minimally invasive alternative to resection, although the safety and efficacy of LITT is less well defined. This study aimed to compare outcomes among patients who underwent LITT vs. resections.}, url = {http://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8355}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/8c97kq94g}, }
