Postsurgical treatment of epilepsy.

Abstract

In people with localization-related epilepsy who do not respond well to medication and continue to have seizures despite having been evaluated and treated by an epilepsy specialist, current recommendations are to consider surgery as an alternative to continued trials of different antiepileptic drugs (AEDs).
