Epilepsy

Lesionectomy is a surgical procedure used to treat epilepsy by removing brain lesions or abnormal tissue that triggers seizures. It is not typically performed on an outpatient basis due to its invasive nature and involves hospitalization. While not minimally invasive, lesionectomy can be highly effective in reducing or eliminating seizures, significantly improving a patient’s quality of life.

Epilepsy DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) Implantation is a surgical procedure that involves implanting a device to stimulate specific areas of the brain to manage epilepsy seizures. DBS has shown promise in reducing seizure frequency and severity in some patients when other treatments have been ineffective, providing a potential solution for those living with drug-resistant epilepsy.

VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulation) Implantation is an established treatment for epilepsy that involves surgically implanting a device that stimulates the vagus nerve. This helps reduce the frequency and severity of seizures. It can significantly improve seizure control in individuals with epilepsy who do not respond well to other treatments.

Lesionectomy involves the removal of a brain lesion responsible for triggering seizures. This precise and targeted surgery aims to eliminate the source of abnormal electrical activity, reducing or eliminating seizures in patients. It can be performed as a minimally invasive or traditional open surgery, depending on the case, and offers the potential for improved seizure control and enhanced quality of life.

A neurosurgical procedure employed to locate the source of epileptic seizures in the brain. It involves the insertion of electrodes into the brain tissue to monitor electrical activity and identify the seizure origin. This technique helps neurosurgeons map the affected brain areas accurately, aiding in the development of targeted treatment plans for epilepsy patients. The procedure may be performed on an outpatient or inpatient basis, depending on the individual’s condition and requirements.
