This video provides an overview of thermal ablation surgery for seizures. Thermal ablation is also called laser interstitial thermal therapy or LITT procedure. It is a type of epilepsy surgery that involves placing a small probe in the area of the brain where seizures start. An MRI is used to guide the probe. The probe uses heat to "ablate" (destroy) the area causing the seizures.
