Abstract EN

Epilepsy surgery can be an effective epilepsy treatment for patients whose seizures do not respond to best medical therapy.

For patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, selective amygdalohippocampectomy (SAH) has emerged as a viable alternative to standard anterior temporal lobectomy.

This paper reviews the indications for SAH, the technical advances that have led to greater adoption of the procedure, the expectations for seizure control, and the risks of morbidity.
