  • no more freaks.....GENIUS

  • I really benefitted from this video, as I may be getting this surgery in a few months, and am academically interested in the subject matter. Thank you.

  • @dfpkeogh my mom has them every day... sometimes twice a day im really scared.. thank god this is the most sucessful type of brain surgery...

  • i get the very same seizures u had only i get about 15-20 per week and the majority are at night i had ann extra temporal cortical ressection earlier this year but when the tissue came back from the lab it showed severe dysplasia(abnormal brain growth) so ive to go again as my seizures have not stopped but waiting lists are so long and im taking so many meds it gets frustrating at times but at the end of the day it could be worse

  • I was wondering won't the emotional faculties of the patient be compromised if the temporal lobe is resected. it is like whether u wanted to be injured by a lion or eaten by a lion. i guess the rule is to prefer the former?

  • A very informative video ! I had intractable complex partial Seizures for many years. 2 years ago, surgery was discussed and after a variety of tests, I had surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. I am now seizure free. As discussed in the video, recovery is quite rapid. I am 43 and can now drive, and I am seizure free. My seizures were mild (staring in to space, smacking of lips etc). Fortunatly there was always an Aura. Prior to the surgery on average, I had about 1 seizure a week.

  • Thank you! :-D

  • I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooo

    Happy for you. With lots of care and {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{BIG HUG}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

  • Consider it. Everyone has a different experience with surgery. Freebird, I feel for you. I went through this surgery twice, in 2007. In May the right hippocampus and amygdala were removed. In December the surgery was in two parts:

    1. implant an eeg grid and electrodes

    2. full anterior temporal lobectomy.

    I have an area the size of my fist behind my right ear that's simply gone. I've been seizure free since 6/24/08. I'll probably be on meds forever, but who cares! The seizures are gone! :-)
