title: [Surgical treatment of epilepsy. Needs, examination, resource demands and results].
abstract: This review gives the current status of epilepsy surgery, the diagnostic procedures involved and the resources needed. Relatively few of the epilepsy patients are possible candidates for surgery. However, only a small fraction of these possible candidates are actually offered this treatment, in Norway as well as world-wide. The need for increased activity within this field is emphasized, as is the necessity of multi-disciplinary, regionalized epilepsy centers.
