Abstract

Surgery for temporal lobe epilepsy refractory to medical treatment is a promising treatment option. After a short overview on historical developments in this field, we describe the present practice of presurgical evaluation and resection strategies as practiced at our institution and review the corresponding publications from other centers. We try to delineate major future developments for surgical therapy of temporal lobe epilepsy, as they can derived from present trends.
