Epilepsy: Efficacy of epilepsy surgery: what are the questions today?

Anne T Berg1.   

Abstract

Consistent with previous findings, two recent studies of temporal lobectomy from Kerala, India demonstrate that early seizure recurrence bodes poorly for long-term seizure control, and that relapse following drug discontinuation affects one-third of patients. Key questions in the field now concern advanced preoperative and intraoperative techniques for improving surgical outcomes.
