Brain lobectomy
Brain lobectomy is usually the surgical treatment for epilepsy. Patients with epilepsy, whose seizures arise commonly from the temporal or frontal lobes, have a high probability that their seizures will not be controlled with anti-seizure medications alone. Surgery for epilepsy is a well-established procedure with excellent results. Temporal lobectomy is a surgical procedure designed to remove seizure causing brain tissue. The temporal lobes are the brain segments located on either side of the head just above the ear. During surgery, craniotomy is performed and a small, seizure-causing portion of the temporal lobe is removed, using an intracranial EEG monitoring during the surgery to help the surgeon pinpoint the exact location of the areas of the brain causing the seizures.Photo credit : @nazandedeogluu
Cool didn't know lobectomies were really ever done this is good to know. If done for seizures will it change personalities in the person. I know a lot of stroke patients have totally different personalities after a stroke and not all times that's good. They can become mean
Not a doctor or anything, but my coworker had a lobectomy for epilepsy and she is exactly the same as she was before the procedure.
