Some patients with epilepsy can have surgery. The main treatment option for epilepsy is medication, but patients with poor medication results, clear localization of epileptic foci and relatively confined foci can choose to be treated through surgery.
Patients who have been ineffective with antiepileptic drugs for a long period of time can consider surgical treatment, but patients with surgical treatment need to undergo a comprehensive evaluation of their condition before surgery. Defining the localization of the lesion, ensuring that the lesion is confined and ensuring that there is no risk of serious postoperative dysfunction are key to the success of surgical treatment of epilepsy.
Common surgical methods include resection of epileptic foci, anterior temporal lobectomy, hippocampal resection and so on.
Patients are advised to visit a specialized hospital and choose the appropriate treatment plan under the guidance of the doctor.
