Epilepsy Focus/Anterior Temporal Lobe Resection
Resection can be considered for drug-resistant focal epilepsy when the assessment indicates that the epileptogenic zone is clearly localized and relatively separable from key functional areas. The decision is based on seizure type, consistency of imaging and electroencephalography, previous treatmen

How Epilepsy Focus/Anterior Temporal Lobe Resection is performed
If applicable, the epileptogenic zone is first localized using video electroencephalography, imaging, and stereoelectroencephalography. Under general anesthesia, the epileptogenic tissue is resected with the assistance of neuronavigation and intraoperative electrophysiology, avoiding functional areas as much as possible; after hemostasis and closure, the patient is transferred to monitoring for observation. Postoperative monitoring of neurological function and electroencephalography aims to reduce seizures and restore daily function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
