Abstract
Purpose: Anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) is the most common surgical treatment for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), and Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) plays a critical role in precisely localizing the epileptogenic zone (EZ). This study aimed to explore the effect of SEEG on the long-term outcomes of different side ATL.
Methods: From March 2012 to February 2020, a retrospective analysis was conducted on 231 TLE patients who underwent standard ATL surgery. According to the surgical sides and the utilization of SEEG during preoperative evaluation, the patients were categorized into four groups, with a follow-up period exceeding two years.
Results: Among the 231 TLE patients, the probability of being seizure-free two years after the surgery was 80.52%, which decreased to 65.65% after five years. There was no significant difference in outcomes between SEEG and non-SEEG patients. For overall and non-SEEG patients, there was no significant difference in short-term outcomes between different surgical sides. However, the long-term outcomes of right ATL patients were significantly better than left. Interestingly, for patients who underwent SEEG, there was no significant difference in both short-term and long-term outcomes between different surgical sides.
Conclusion: Some TLE patients encounter challenges in localizing the EZ through non-invasive evaluation, necessitating the use of SEEG for precise localization. Furthermore, their seizure outcomes after surgery can be the same with the patients who have a clear epileptogenic zone in non-invasive evaluation. And SEEG patients can achieve a more stable long-term prognosis than non-SSEEG patients.
期刊介绍:
World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The journal''s mission is to:
-To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care.
-To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide.
-To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients.
Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
