A member asked:
What happens during temporal lobectomy epilepsy surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hope positive result: Fairly high percentage success rate, with at least a 60-75% decrease in seizure frequency, if you possess an appropriate focal lesion in the temporal lobe. You will need to discuss the technical aspects, and risk factors with your surgeons, and hopefully, get all your questions answered.
