Emerging treatments
Minimally invasive targeted surgery
Minimally invasive targeted surgical approaches have also been advocated whereby the risk-benefit assessment includes no expectation of seizure freedom.[85] The less invasive adjunctive techniques of stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) and MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) target seizure foci within complicated epileptic networks. Patients that were previously not considered surgical candidates for conventional epilepsy surgery may experience a reduction of seizures using this approach.[85]
