In their JNNP paper, Gooneratna et al 1 review long-term studies of three surgical therapies for pharmacoresistant focal epilepsy: vagal nerve stimulation, which provides the most evidence, anterior thalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (ANT DBS) and cortical responsive stimulation (CRS).

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 1995
Epilepsy surgery is an important treatment for many patients with seizures refractory to medical therapy. In this article, the background for this surgery is discussed, and the most common operations reviewed. With early diagnosis and successful surgery, many patients can be returned to active and productive lives.

Neurologic Clinics, 1985
Despite important advances in the treatment of epilepsy over the past several decades, many patients remain uncontrolled. Partial complex (psychomotor) seizures are the largest problem, with less than two thirds of patients successfully managed despite optimal medication use. In these situations, various surgical procedures may be helpful, depending on

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 1996
Only 15% of patients with severe epilepsy with frequent partial seizures achieve any improvement in their seizure frequency by further drug treatment. As we know that epileptic seizures result in neuron loss with early development of mental deterioration, that the mortality rate of patients with epilepsy is increased and that an exact localization of ...

Current Opinion in Neurology, 1994
The publication of many review papers and five books on the surgical treatment of epilepsy during the past year attests to the tremendous increase in interest in this alternative mode of therapy. The number of therapeutic surgical procedures in the United States alone has more than tripled since 1986; however, there may be 10- to 100-fold more patients

Surgery for drug-resistant tuberous sclerosis complex-associated epilepsy: who, when, and what.
Epileptic disorders, 2021Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a multisystem genetic disorder associated with refractory early-onset epilepsy. Current evidence supports surgery as the intervention most likely to achieve long-term seizure freedom, but no specific guidelines are ...

Invasive monitoring is sometimes necessary to guide resective surgery in epilepsy patients, but the ideal method is unknown. In this systematic review, we assess the association of postresection seizure freedom and adverse events in ...

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2004
Uncontrolled epilepsy is associated with progressive cortical and hippocampal atrophy, substantial cognitive and psychosocial morbidity, and increased mortality. Seizure freedom is required to reverse such morbidity and mortality. Surgery is vastly superior to medical therapy for patients with chronic, refractory temporal lobe seizures, and is now the ...

It is well established that anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) is an effective treatment for drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy.1 Despite this, there is evidence from many countries that it is underused.2 One survey of Canadian neurologists reported ...
