“…While many meta‐analyses have systematically studied the clinical outcomes and predictors in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and other forms of ETE (eg, frontal, parietal, and occipital lobe epilepsies), only one such study exists for IE. 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 In this regard, Kerezoudis et al performed a recent meta‐analysis of patients undergoing surgery for insular epilepsy that revealed rates of overall seizure freedom (64.3%) and postoperative neurological deficits (43.2%, most of which were transient) comparable to our study. While their assessment is valuable, the overall findings are limited by the fact that the heterogeneity between studies was not accounted for, multivariate analyses were not performed, missing data were not imputed, and predictors of postoperative neurological complications were not evaluated.…”
