In this issue of Neurosurgery Clinics, guest editors Drs. Jimmy Yang and R. Mark Richardson bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Epilepsy Surgery: Paradigm Shifts. Top experts in the field explore the underutilization of epilepsy surgery as a public health crisis, and recent paradigm shifts in how epilepsy surgery is conceptualized that may help bring significant improvement to greater numbers of people with drug-resistant epilepsy. Contains 16 relevant, practice-oriented topics, including pediatric neurostimulation and practice evolution; brain stimulation in pediatric generalized epilepsy; imaging and SEEG functional networks to guide epilepsy surgery; sensing-enabled deep brain stimulation in epilepsy; thalamic stimulation to prevent impaired consciousness; gene therapy for epilepsy; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on paradigm shifts in epilepsy surgery, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

A seizure is a sudden, uncontrolled electrical activity between the brain's nerve cells. It can lead to changes in behavior, feelings, and in levels of consciousness, muscle control, etc. Epilepsy surgery is a surgical method concerned with the treatment of the brain. It is used to remove the part of the brain where seizures take place. There are several types of epilepsy surgeries and factors such as the site of the neurons that start the seizure and the age of the patient determine the type of surgery that should be performed. Resective surgery is the most common type of epilepsy surgical method. It involves the removal of a small portion of the brain. It is often performed in an area that controls language comprehension, visual memory and emotions, known as temporal lobe. Corpus callosotomy is another type of epilepsy surgery that involves complete or partial removal of the corpus callosum. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about epilepsy surgery. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for neurosurgery students.
