Abstract
While recent technological advancements are reshaping the landscape of surgical epilepsy management, the established techniques of resective and disconnective surgeries guided by electrographic monitoring remain the workhorse interventions for the management of refractory seizures and have the highest likelihood of achieving complete seizure resolution. Here we discuss examples of recent developments in surgical approaches and techniques for resective and disconnective surgeries with discussion of their indications and potential advantages.
