Epilepsy Surgery

The big day

In this Epilepsy Surgery video, participants explore the emotions and events surrounding the day of surgery. Feelings of nervousness and fear are common leading up to such a pivotal event.

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.
