Memory can be restored after temporal lobe surgery, but it takes longer. Meanwhile, symptoms such as bleeding and infection can also lead to memory loss after surgery, so good post-operative care is needed.
Since temporal lobe surgery itself will cause some stimulation or damage to brain tissue, short-term memory loss after surgery is a normal complication, and usually can be gradually recovered 3~6 months after surgery, but also need to take neuroprotective drugs such as vitamin B, methylcobalamin, etc. to promote nerve recovery.
In the process of postoperative recovery, if there is local infection or bleeding in the surgical wound, it may compress the nerves in the brain, thus affecting the recovery of memory, therefore, it is necessary to do a good job of changing and cleaning the surgical wound after the operation, and to conduct neuropsychological assessment and memory training regularly, which can also help to recover the memory to a certain extent.
It is recommended that patients choose regular hospitals to undergo temporal lobe surgery, and under the guidance of the doctor to actively treat the patients after the surgery.
