Can primary epilepsy be surgically treated?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Can primary epilepsy be surgically treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Recurrence of primary epilepsy can also be treated with surgery, but it is necessary to locate the specific pulse focus of the seizure. This surgical indication is recommended to bring the patient to a regular hospital's neurosurgery department for follow-up. Professional surgeons should provide their opinions on the follow-up. They will determine the treatment plan through tests and careful examinations. However, surgical treatment is not a complete cure, and in some cases, seizures may still occur.
