title: Epilepsy surgery in children and adults.
abstract: Epilepsy surgery is now accepted as a treatment modality for medically intractable epilepsy. A careful and detailed evaluation of patients is required by a trained epilepsy team which includes neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuroradiologists, psychologists and psychiatrists. For intractable complex partial seizures of temporal lobe origin, epilepsy surgery offers an 80% success rate.
