Up to one third of patients with epilepsy develop medication-refractory epilepsy [1]. Surgery is often an effective treatment for these patients. Several studies, including a randomized controlled trial and a decision analysis [2,3], demonstrate the effectiveness of surgery in temporal lobe epilepsy. These patients have up to an 80% chance of post-operative seizure freedom. Similarly high rates of success are seen in lesional extratemporal epilepsy [4].
