Epilepsy Surgery Treatment in India

Epilepsy surgery removes or disconnects the specific area of the brain responsible for generating seizures in patients whose epilepsy is not controlled by medication. Through careful pre-surgical evaluation and mapping, neurosurgeons can target the seizure focus while minimizing impact on brain function, offering many patients significant seizure reduction or freedom from seizures.

• Recurrent seizures despite medication
• Loss of awareness or consciousness during seizures
• Unusual sensations, movements, or behaviors before a seizure
• Memory or cognitive difficulties
• Impact on daily activities, driving, or work due to seizure risk

Epilepsy surgery is considered when seizures continue despite trials of two or more appropriate medications, and when detailed evaluation (EEG monitoring, MRI, and other tests) identifies a clear, safely operable seizure focus in the brain.

• Comprehensive pre-surgical evaluation including EEG and imaging studies
• Performed under general anesthesia, sometimes with intraoperative monitoring
• The seizure-generating brain tissue is carefully removed or disconnected
• Functional mapping helps protect areas responsible for speech, movement, and memory
• Surgery duration varies based on procedure complexity

• 5-10 days hospital stay including monitoring
• Gradual return to daily activities over several weeks
• Continued follow-up with neurology and medication adjustment
• Most patients see significant seizure reduction or freedom from seizures
• Long-term follow-up to monitor outcomes

• Comprehensive epilepsy evaluation and surgical team
• Advanced EEG monitoring and brain mapping technology
• Multidisciplinary approach involving neurology and neurosurgery
• Transparent, all-inclusive package pricing
• Dedicated support for international patients throughout treatment
