Epilepsy Surgery
Seizures
In this Epilepsy Surgery video, participants recall the severity of seizures they have experienced. Surgery is usually only appropriate when the severity of seizures experienced is extreme, and interferes with the person's ability to function in day-to-day life.
In recent years, brain surgery has become a well recognised treatment for some types of epilepsy. These 'Speaking from Experience' clips offer first hand accounts from people who have undergone epilepsy surgery, and their families. Issues covered include pre-surgery testing, the decision for surgery and the recovery period for both adults and children.
