Long term follow-up after multiple hippocampal transection (MHT)

The results show that the seizure outcome with MHT is equal or better than those reported with standard temporal lobectomy. Furthermore verbal memory is preserved. The study also shows that intraoperative ECoG is important in order to conclude adequacy of the procedure. Based on the result of this study the authors feel that this procedure needs to be persued as an alternate to hippocampectomy.
