About

Patrick Landazuri is a clinical researcher specializing in epilepsy surgery and minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques, with a particular focus on laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) as a treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy. His work has been instrumental in advancing the evidence base for stereotactic laser ablation, moving the field beyond small retrospective case series toward rigorous prospective, multi-center investigation. Landazuri's most influential contribution is his leadership in the LAANTERN registry, a landmark prospective multicenter study examining the safety, hospitalization outcomes, and seizure control achieved through laser ablation across a broad range of intracranial pathologies. His 2019 and 2020 publications from this registry have together accumulated nearly 100 citations, reflecting their significance to both neurosurgeons and epileptologists worldwide. His more recent work specifically addressing mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with LITT underscores a sustained commitment to refining patient selection and optimizing procedural outcomes in one of epilepsy surgery's most challenging targets. Through his multi-institutional collaborations, Landazuri has helped establish laser ablation as a credible, well-characterized alternative to open resective surgery, providing patients with drug-resistant epilepsy a safer, less invasive pathway to meaningful seizure freedom.
