About this Procedure
Epilepsy surgery is a treatment for people whose seizures are not controlled by anti-seizure medicines, or whose medicine side effects outweigh the benefits. The aim is to stop seizures or make them less frequent and less severe by treating the area of the brain where they begin. Only a specialist epilepsy team can decide whether surgery is suitable, after detailed testing.
Before surgery, you have a thorough evaluation. This usually includes EEG monitoring to record seizures, MRI and PET scans, neuropsychological testing and sometimes functional MRI or a Wada test to map language and memory. Some patients then need electrodes placed on or in the brain to pinpoint the seizure focus more precisely.
There are several types of epilepsy surgery. Resection removes the brain tissue where seizures start; disconnection procedures interrupt the pathways that spread seizures; laser interstitial thermal therapy uses heat through a small opening; and neuromodulation implants a device that stimulates nerves or brain areas. Surgery is usually done under general anaesthetic, although you may be woken briefly for brain mapping. Open surgery takes several hours and is typically followed by a day in intensive care and three to five days in hospital. Most people return to normal daily activities in about four to six weeks.
