Epilepsy surgery is a specialized neurological procedure aimed at reducing or eliminating seizures in patients who do not respond to medications. It involves removing or altering the brain area responsible for abnormal electrical activity that causes seizures.

When is Epilepsy Surgery Recommended?

• Drug-resistant epilepsy (seizures uncontrolled by medications)
• Identifiable seizure focus on MRI or EEG
• Frequent, disabling seizures affecting daily life
• No significant risk to speech, memory, or movement from surgery

Types of Epilepsy Surgery

• Resective Surgery - Removes the seizure-generating brain tissue (e.g., temporal lobe)
• Laser Ablation - Minimally invasive destruction of seizure focus using laser energy

• Corpus Callosotomy - Cuts nerve fibers between brain hemispheres to reduce seizure spread
• Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) - Device implantation to control seizure frequency

Benefits

• Significant reduction or complete freedom from seizures
• Improved quality of life and independence
• Reduced medication burden and side effects
• Better cognitive and emotional well-being
