Patient's question:
My child has been sick for over a year, and taking medication hasn't had any effect at all. I can see that they're about to start elementary school, and I'm afraid they might have a relapse during tutoring, so I want to have the minimally invasive surgery to treat it. What kind of help is needed: What kinds of minimally invasive surgeries are available for children?Doctor's answer:
The current clinical diagnosis of your child's epilepsy is primarily based on oral antiepileptic drugs. However, for a small portion of refractory epilepsy, even after regular medication, the control is still not ideal. Surgical treatment for epilepsy can be considered at a regular hospital. Surgery is generally not recommended, but you can consult with doctors at the hospital to discuss which treatment plan is more suitable for your child. Please do not make decisions on your own.The above advice is in response to the question "What types of minimally invasive surgery are available for children?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
