Laser ablation surgery helps treat young man's epilepsy.

Epilepsy is a disease of electrical activity in the brain. However, in epilepsy, that electrical activity starts to progress in an abnormal fashion and then can spread to areas of the brain that can cause disruption of function. For many patients’ medication therapy can help control the seizures. But when drugs are not effective, surgery may be an option. One form of surgery is Laser ablation which is a less invasive procedure. A laser is used to pinpoint and destroy a small portion of brain tissue that’s causing the seizures. During surgery, doctors used Magnetic resonance imaging or (MRI) to guide the laser. Patients typically have a shorter hospital stay and recover more quickly. ____________________________________________ FOR THE PUBLIC: More health and medical news on the Mayo Clinic News Network. https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/ FOR THE MEDIA ONLY: Register at https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/re... to access clean and nat sound versions of this video on the Mayo Clinic News Network. https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/ Mayo Clinic https://mayocl.in/3tNMAdF Follow Mayo Clinic on Instagram:   / mayoclinic   Like Mayo Clinic on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ Follow Mayo Clinic on Twitter:   / mayoclinic
