Epilepsy Surgery
Open accessAbstract
Epilepsy surgery is assuming greater importance in treating patients with partial epilepsy whose seizures are uncontrolled with antiepileptic drugs. Many good candidates for surgical treatment are not presented with the option of surgery. The evaluation for epilepsy surgery is extensive and includes several stages of noninvasive and invasive testing. As more sophisticated noninvasive tests develop, fewer patients require invasive monitoring studies such as depth or subdural electrodes. The principal forms of surgical treatment include focal resection, corpus callosotomy, and hemispherectomy. Temporal lobectomy remains the most common and effective form of epilepsy surgery. Frontiers of epilepsy surgery include resective surgery for intractable infantile spasms and multiple subpial transections for patients whose seizure foci are in sensory, motor, or languages cortex. Additional studies are needed to define the safety and efficacy of these new procedures.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
