Epilepsy Surgery

Epilepsy surgery is a medical procedure aimed at reducing or eliminating seizures in people whose epilepsy does not respond well to medication. It involves removing or altering the part of the brain where seizures originate. Before surgery, doctors perform extensive tests, including brain imaging and monitoring, to identify the seizure focus and assess whether surgery is suitable. The goal is to improve the patient’s quality of life by providing better seizure control, which can help them lead more normal, independent lives. Not everyone with epilepsy is a candidate for surgery, but for some, it can be life-changing.
