Laser Ablation
Laser ablation has been used with increasing frequency for the treatment of epilepsy since 2014. This minimally invasive procedure uses heat to destroy the precise area of the brain where seizures originate rather than removing the brain tissue. Depending on the type of epilepsy you have, laser ablation can offer approximately a 50 percent to 70 percent chance of eliminating your seizures.
