Features: Epilepsy surgery in China began in the 1950s and remained in a relatively underdeveloped stage until the early 1980s. It aligned with the general comments of the time: "The utilization of equipment resources was low, and the enthusiasm for technological innovation was insufficient." Afterward, with the emergence of China's reform and opening-up policies and the gradual establishment of a socialist market economy nationwide, the development of various industries flourished. The healthcare sector was no exception. The introduction of advanced foreign technologies and equipment, overseas training for professional medical personnel, and the convenient dissemination of scientific information all inspired the enthusiasm of medical workers, bringing new vitality to epilepsy surgery. The publication of Epilepsy Surgery is a joyful example of this progress. This book is a comprehensive reference work edited by three renowned neurosurgery professors from China's older generation: Tan Qifu, Li Ling, and Wu Chengyuan. It features contributions from over 70 domestic experts who address the latest and most cutting-edge issues in epilepsy treatment. The book comprises 64 chapters and over a million words, richly illustrated. It provides detailed descriptions of key topics such as surgical indications, surgical types, critical preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative points, and the scientific evaluation of treatment outcomes. Controversial issues are also addressed for reference. This book serves as a valuable resource for in-depth exploration. It is suitable for reference and reading by physicians at all levels in neurosurgery, neurology, psychiatry, neuroradiology, radiosurgery, and other related departments, as well as graduate students and medical students.
