Of the study group of 35 patients, 27 (77.1%) became completely seizure free after surgery (class I), and 2 patients (5.7%) had no more than 2 seizures per year (class II). Worthwhile seizure control was achieved in 29 patients (82.8%).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although the duration of seizure has been reported to be adversely related to the seizure outcome by some authors, [6] , [13] we have not observed any definite association between the seizure control and duration, type or frequency of seizure and age[pediatricneurosciences.com]
In the seizure free group the seizure frequency ranged from 2 to 45 per month (mean: 10.25) and in the non seizure free group ranged from 6 to 180 (mean: 52.8).[scielo.br]

Lesionectomy associated with partial mesial resection did not guarantee a better prognosis.[scielo.br]

The MTL tumors are heterogeneous in their prognosis. Older age, short duration of epilepsy, and tumor size are all associated with poor outcome.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This strategy may produce acceptable control of seizures; however, it must be considered against the excellent prognosis provided by surgery.[pediatrics.aappublications.org]
