- Surgery
Information
Surgery
is used when all other medical avenues or treatments have been
pursued, and when the injured brain tissue causing the seizures
can be identified and safely removed without damaging psychological
or major body functions. This applies to only a small percentage
of people.
Different types of operations may be performed. In
general, they fall into two main groups:
1. Removal of the area
of the brain that is producing the seizures.
2. Interruption of
nerve pathways along which seizure impulses spread.
