No significant differences in seizure outcome between patients who underwent only anterior corpus callosotomy and complete corpus callosotomy were observed. LITT is a less invasive surgical alternative to open craniotomy for corpus callosotomy, associated with similar seizure outcomes, lower blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and lower complication rates, but with longer operative times, when compared with the open craniotomy approach.
