Abstract Epilepsy surgery is an established treatment for drug‐resistant epilepsy, offering a realistic prospect of seizure freedom in well‐selected candidates. However, surgery is sometimes offered to individuals with a low probability of seizure freedom when it is framed as potentially “life‐saving” on the basis of the elevated mortality associated ...
