Epilepsy Surgery in Karnataka

Types of Epilepsy Surgery

Resective surgery removes the specific brain tissue causing seizures (such as temporal lobectomy, the most common and successful type) after careful mapping to avoid critical functions like speech or movement. Alternative approaches include laser interstitial thermal therapy (a minimally invasive option that destroys the seizure focus with heat through a small probe), and neurostimulation devices like responsive neurostimulation or vagus nerve stimulation for patients who aren't candidates for tissue removal.
