About

Dr. S. Kathleen Bandt is a leading figure in the surgical management of epilepsy, with a focused expertise in advanced neuromodulation and minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques. Her work centers on refining stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) and laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) to improve outcomes for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Her highly practical guide, "A Practical Approach to Stereo EEG" (2020, 17 citations), has become a foundational resource for clinicians adopting this critical diagnostic method. More recently, her 2025 study on interstitial thermal therapy for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (9 citations) provides vital data on seizure outcomes and procedural efficacy, directly informing clinical decision-making for a common and challenging epileptic focus. By systematically evaluating the safety and effectiveness of LITT, Dr. Bandt is helping to shift the standard of care toward less invasive, targeted ablations. Her contributions are not only advancing the technical precision of epilepsy surgery but are also providing the evidence base needed to expand access to these life-changing procedures for a broader patient population.
