The goal of surgery is to remove the focus responsible for epilepsy.

But how to find it?

The epileptoid center is no different from other healthy parts of the brain, it just has epiactivity.

To solve the problem, special very thin electrodes are inserted into the brain before surgery, with which, first, the epileptogenic focus is caught, EEG is performed, and then, with the installed electrodes, without performing an open operation, they simply burn the focus, which reaches the size of approximately 1 cm, and release the patient. from convulsive seizures, or significantly reduce their activity throughout life, as a result of minimally invasive intervention.

As a result, the patient avoids open surgery. This is one of the most modern surgeries today.
