Functional outcomes in MRI-guided laser interstitial therapy for temporal lobe epilepsy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: The use of MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) has emerged as a promising treatment option for patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Although the minimally invasive approach holds promise as an effective treatment for achieving seizure freedom, a comprehensive review of its impact on functional outcomes is still warranted. To address this need, this review aims to summarize data pertaining to the functional and neurocognitive outcomes following MRgLITT for TLE.
