What are the seizure operations?
A – Most often, seizures are located in the temporal lobe because it is an area in the brain very susceptible to injury. An operation called temporal lobectomy removes part of that region in order to control the seizures. Seizures begin in other regions of the brain less frequently. After determining that it is safe, these epileptic regions often can be removed. A third type of operation is called corpus callosotomy. In this surgery, the connections between the two halves of the brain are severed. This prevents seizures from spreading from one half of the brain to the other. Although the seizure region is not removed, the seizures remain small and falling seizures are reduced in number and severity.
