It can be an effective treatment option for recurrent brain tumors , radiation necrosis, and tumors that form deep within the brain.
- About Your Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) for ...Figure 1. Using laser heat to destroy a tumor. LITT is a minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive surgeries are done with only a small incision (surgical cut). This makes the recovery time faster than other types of brain surgeries. LITT surgery is done in the intraoperative MRI suite.
- Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) | UCSF Brain Tumor ...Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT, also called MRI-guided laser ablation) is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows surgeons to precisely target and ablate tumor tissue. A laser can be directed to a defined area in the brain, using a thin fiber that is guided to the tumor tissue. The laser transmits energy and as a result ...
