Epilepsy Surgery

Brain surgery

Brain surgery is a medical procedure performed to treat problems in the brain caused by conditions such as tumors, blood clots, aneurysms, epilepsy, brain injuries, or abnormal brain structures. It involves accessing the brain through the skull (craniotomy) or using minimally invasive techniques to diagnose, remove, or repair damaged tissue, relieve pressure, or improve brain function.

Epilepsy Surgery

Epilepsy surgery is a medical procedure performed to remove, disconnect, or alter the area of the brain where seizures originate, especially when medications fail to control epilepsy.

The goal of this surgery is to reduce or completely stop seizures, improve quality of life, and minimize the impact of epilepsy on daily activities. It is usually recommended after careful evaluation through brain imaging, EEG, and neuropsychological tests to pinpoint the seizure focus.

Types of Epilepsy Surgery

1. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression :

Mechanical Traction Therapy (Non-Surgical Decompression Therapy)
In this procedure, the patient is positioned on a special table that gently stretches and decompresses the spine. The machine uses precise traction to create negative pressure on the affected discs, allowing them to rehydrate, reduce pressure, and relieve pain. This can be effective for conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease.

2. Lesionectomy Lesionectomy :

Surgical spinal decompression involves physical removal of parts of the disc or bone that are pressing on nerves in the spine. This option is typically used when conservative treatments have failed and the patient is experiencing severe pain or nerve damage.

Discectomy
The surgeon removes part or all of a herniated disc to relieve pressure on the affected nerve.
Laminectomy
In this procedure, the surgeon removes part of the vertebra (the lamina) to create more space for the spinal cord and nerves, often used for spinal stenosis.
