Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. While many patients achieve seizure control with medications, some continue to experience frequent seizures despite appropriate treatment. In such cases, epilepsy surgery may be an effective option to reduce or eliminate seizures and improve quality of life.
