| Publisher Description: Surgery offers a highly efficient treatment option for patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsies. While most surgical procedures aim at curative treatment, others have been designed for palliative purposes. Although standardized procedures are available, surgical techniques actually applied vary greatly. However, to date no comprehensive overview on different methods is available. The book by Zentner and Seeger compensates for these shortcomings. It comprises the wide spectrum of current procedures and provides a thorough description of surgical steps. Moreover, detailed information as to results and complications of different procedures is given. Thus, this book not only contains practical instructions for neurosurgeons, but also enables neurologists and epileptologists to understand possibilities and limitations of epilepsy surgery and facilitates adequate consultation of patients and relatives. |
