If you have focal epilepsy, you may have spent years trying to find the medication and dosage that work best for you.1 But sometimes, medications alone aren’t able to control seizures. When that happens, Visualase™ MRI guided laser ablation — a minimally invasive alternative to open brain surgery — offers hope.
Visualase MRI guided laser ablation is a type of laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) procedure during which a surgeon uses laser energy to ablate areas in the brain. The doctor very precisely destroys just the tissue causing problems, protecting the healthy tissue and other parts of the brain.
