summary

My friend is suffering from congenital epilepsy. He always convulses when he starts the disease. Sometimes he lies on the ground and his mouth keeps foaming. He wants to treat the disease through surgery. Now I'll talk about whether epilepsy can be treated surgically.

Can epilepsy be treated surgically

First: epilepsy can be treated surgically, and surgery is also a method for the treatment of epilepsy. When choosing the best treatment for epilepsy, surgery is often not the first choice, but it may be the best method for refractory epilepsy. For patients with refractory epilepsy, the effect of anti epilepsy drugs is not good. If patients have the indications of epilepsy surgery, then surgery is the best choice.

Second: at present, the separated brain pacemaker invented by the Chinese people is used to treat epilepsy. Through minimally invasive surgery, the magnetic field electrode is implanted under the scalp of patients to repair the damaged brain nerve and control the abnormal discharge of the brain. The operation is minimally invasive and safe. According to the patient's condition, the patients were treated with extracorporeal pulse instrument 1-2 times a day.

Third, accurate localization of epileptogenic foci and brain functional areas is the key to successful surgical treatment. At present, scholars at home and abroad agree that comprehensive diagnostic procedures should be used for the preoperative localization of epileptogenic foci and brain functional areas. The most commonly used and better method is comprehensive evaluation by stages, that is, non-invasive examination in the initial stage (stage I) and invasive examination in stage II.

matters needing attention

Generally speaking, drug treatment is the first choice for the treatment of epilepsy, but surgery is an excellent choice for patients with epilepsy who can not be cured by drugs for a long time. In China, minimally invasive surgery is generally used to control the abnormal discharge of the brain of patients, so as to cure epilepsy.
