Epilepsy Surgery in India
Epilepsy surgery is a specialized neurosurgical procedure for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy—seizures that cannot be controlled with medication alone. The goal is to remove or modify the area of the brain causing seizures while preserving neurological function.
India offers world-class epilepsy surgery with advanced imaging, minimally invasive techniques, and comprehensive post-operative care at affordable costs.
Who Needs Epilepsy Surgery?
Patients with medically refractory epilepsy (seizures persist despite two or more anti-epileptic drugs).
Seizures originating from a well-defined brain region (focal epilepsy).
Patients with structural abnormalities like cortical dysplasia, tumors, or scar tissue.
Individuals whose seizures significantly impact quality of life, work, or education.

Types of Epilepsy Surgery
1. Resective Surgery
Temporal Lobectomy: Removal of the seizure-causing portion of the temporal lobe.
Lesionectomy: Removal of tumors, scar tissue, or malformations causing seizures.
2. Disconnective Surgery
Corpus Callosotomy: Cutting the connection between brain hemispheres to prevent seizure spread.
Hemispherectomy / Hemispherotomy: Rare procedure for severe unilateral brain disorders.
3. Minimally Invasive Techniques
Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT): Uses laser to ablate seizure foci.
Stereotactic radiosurgery (Gamma Knife/CyberKnife): Precise non-invasive ablation of small seizure-causing regions.
4. Neuromodulation
Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS): Implanted device sends electrical impulses to the brain via the vagus nerve.
Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS): Device monitors and responds to abnormal electrical activity.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): Occasionally used in refractory cases.
Benefits of Epilepsy Surgery
Significant reduction or complete elimination of seizures in selected patients.
Improved cognitive function and quality of life.
Reduced reliance on long-term anti-epileptic medications.
Lower risk of seizure-related injuries.

Factors Affecting Epilepsy Surgery Cost
Type and complexity of surgery – resective surgery is generally less costly than neuromodulation or minimally invasive techniques.
Technology used – Gamma Knife, laser ablation, or RNS implants increase costs.
Hospital and neurology center – Specialized epilepsy centers with advanced monitoring may charge more.
Pre-surgical evaluation – Long-term EEG monitoring, MRI, PET scans, and neuropsychological tests add to total cost.
Post-surgical care – Rehabilitation, anti-epileptic medications, and follow-up imaging.
