Patient's question:
The father's epilepsy has suddenly worsened without explanation. Previously, the father had been taking antiepileptic medication every day to control the condition, with very few episodes, and it was well-managed. Now, he experiences seizures every month. I want to know if surgery can repair epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, whether surgical treatment for epilepsy is suitable depends on the patient's specific condition. If epilepsy patients use medication, it only helps to suppress the frequency of seizures to a certain extent. Surgical treatment, on the other hand, can restore the patient's condition to health, as this disease is caused by certain abnormalities in the brain. Through surgery, the location of the lesion can be repaired. Additionally, taking medication on time after surgery can lead to a complete cure of the condition.
