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

  1. Type and complexity of surgery – resective surgery is generally less costly than neuromodulation or minimally invasive techniques.

  2. Technology used – Gamma Knife, laser ablation, or RNS implants increase costs.

  3. Hospital and neurology center – Specialized epilepsy centers with advanced monitoring may charge more.

  4. Pre-surgical evaluation – Long-term EEG monitoring, MRI, PET scans, and neuropsychological tests add to total cost.

  5. Post-surgical care – Rehabilitation, anti-epileptic medications, and follow-up imaging.
