[Surgical treatment is efficient in epilepsy].
Epilepsy surgery has a very long tradition, and recent advances in diagnostic and surgical procedures have enabled a number of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy to be treated successfully. In addition to the conventional clinical work-up, candidates for epilepsy surgery undergo evaluation by a multidisciplinary team using a battery of neuroimaging and neurophysiological procedures. Such teams have been established at all six university hospitals in Sweden.
