Many patients are asking the question: Can my epilepsy surgery be completely cured? This is a difficult question to answer because there are many different types of epilepsy, with different causes and clinical manifestations, and the natural course of the disease and response to medication are all different. Surgical efficacy also varies greatly, and not every type of epilepsy can be treated surgically. Therefore, if you are inquiring about the possible outcomes of surgery, you will need to provide as much detailed information as possible about your medical history. Some even require a preoperative evaluation before a more reliable answer can be given.
