epilepsy surgical intervention

Epilepsy surgery is a medical procedure aimed at improving seizure control when medications aren't effective. The goal is to identify and remove or modify the specific brain area causing seizures. This typically involves detailed brain imaging, electrical monitoring, and sometimes mapping to pinpoint the problematic zone. Once identified, a surgical operation can disconnect or excise that area, reducing or stopping seizures. While it carries risks, for some individuals with localized epilepsy, surgery can significantly enhance quality of life, offering greater seizure freedom or reduction compared to medication alone.
