How Epilepsy Focus Resection is performed
If applicable, lesion resection or selective resection with preservation of functional areas will be chosen after thorough evaluation. A common approach is craniotomy under microscopic and navigation guidance, combined with intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring and imaging localization, to stepwise resect epileptogenic tissue and suture in layers. Postoperative monitoring of neurological function and electroencephalogram (EEG), with medication adjustment, aims to reduce seizures. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
