Epilepsy Surgery

Overview

Epilepsy surgery removes or disconnects the brain tissue where seizures originate, offering a potential cure for medication-resistant epilepsy. Advanced techniques include temporal lobectomy, lesionectomy, and corpus callosotomy.

Epilepsy surgery includes resective procedures, disconnective surgeries, and neuromodulation. Success rates are high for well-selected patients with medication-resistant epilepsy.
