Epilepsy Surgery

Surgical treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy, aiming to remove or disconnect the brain area causing seizures. Candidates undergo detailed evaluation including long-term video-EEG monitoring and imaging. A free second opinion within 48 hours is available if you wish to confirm the plan.

Epilepsy Surgery explained

Epilepsy surgery removes or isolates the brain region generating seizures in patients whose epilepsy does not respond adequately to medication.

What it is

When medications fail to control seizures, surgery may target the epileptogenic zone. Techniques include resective surgery to remove the area, or disconnection procedures to interrupt seizure spread.

Is it right for me?

It's considered for patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy after comprehensive evaluation. A team including epileptologists, neurosurgeons and neuropsychologists reviews your case.

How it's done

  1. 1

    Prolonged video-EEG monitoring localises the seizure origin.

  2. 2

    MRI and sometimes PET or SPECT refine the target.

  3. 3

    Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia with neurophysiological monitoring.

  4. 4

    You're monitored post-operatively and medications are adjusted.

Recovery and follow-up

Hospital stay is typically about a week. Recovery includes gradual medication adjustment and rehabilitation if needed. Your consultant coordinates translation and support throughout.
