A member asked:
Is the laser brain surgery safe for generalized epilepsy like absence seizures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If a clearcut area of seizure generation is identified, and you have not responded to medications, and a vagal nerve stimulator device is not an option, surgery may well be worthwhile. Safety issues are unique to the surgeon and hospital involved. Request this information directly.
