We aimed to evaluate the long-term (5 years) and short-term (2 years) surgical outcomes and identify possible prognostic factors in patients with LTLE.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec002\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This retrospective cohort study was conducted between January 1995 and December 2018 among patients who underwent resective surgery in a university-affiliated hospital. Patients were classified as LTLE if ictal onset zone was in lateral temporal area. Surgical outcomes were evaluated at 2 and 5 years. We subdivided based on outcomes and compared clinical and neuroimaging data including cortical thickness between two groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec003\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sixty-four patients were included in the study. The mean follow-up duration after the surgery was 8.4 years. Five years after surgery, 45 of the 63 (71.4%) patients achieved seizure freedom. Clinically and statistically significant prognostic factors for postsurgical outcomes were the duration of epilepsy before surgery and focal cortical dysplasia on postoperative histopathology at the 5-year follow-up. Optimal cut-off point for epilepsy duration was eight years after the seizure onset (odds ratio 4.375,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>-value = 0.0214). Furthermore, we propose a model for predicting seizure outcomes 5 years after surgery using the receiver operating characteristic curve and nomogram (area under the curve = 0.733; 95% confidence interval, 0.588\u20130.879). Cortical thinning was observed in ipsilateral cingulate gyrus and contralateral parietal lobe in poor surgical group compared to good surgical group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>-value &lt; 0.01, uncorrected).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec004\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The identified predictors of unfavorable surgical outcomes may help in selecting optimal candidates and identifying the optimal timing for surgery among patients with LTLE.
