Abstract

Surgical intervention for epilepsy emerged in the second half of the 20th century as an important option for pediatric patients with medically refractory epilepsy. Both the number of patients undergoing epilepsy surgery and the available surgical procedures for epilepsy have expanded in the last 3 decades, and now range from surgical resection to neuromodulatory device placement1,2 Studies showing that many patients who would be excellent candidates for surgery are still not being offered appropriate interventions have prompted an interest in ensuring that all providers who see patients with epilepsy are aware of the options for epilepsy surgery to facilitate earlier referrals when medications have not been effective3 In this article, we will introduce the pediatrician to the process involved in determining epilepsy surgery candidacy and to surgical outcomes, with the goal of empowering pediatric providers to refer their medically refractory epilepsy patients to a pediatric epilepsy center.
