Stereoelectroencephalography-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (SEEG-RFTC) is used not only as a minimally invasive treatment for drug-resistant focal epilepsy, but also as an in vivo test of an SEEG-defined epileptogenic network. Whether response to RFTC is associated with the outcome of subsequent surgery remains uncertain. We evaluated seizure outcomes after later resective, disconnective, or ablative surgery and the association between RFTC response and later surgical outcome....
