Table of Contents:
  • Evidence in pediatric epilepsy surgery
  • Controversies in the timing of pediatric epilepsy surgery: is earlier better?
  • Electroencephalographic evaluation of epileptogenicity: traditional versus novel biomarkers to guide surgery
  • Invasive monitoring: stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) versus subdural electrode (SDE) versus hybrid evaluation
  • Intraoperative adjuncts to optimize the surgical treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy: do new tools improve outcome?
  • Medial temporal lobe epilepsy: selective amygdalohippocampectomy versus anterior temporal lobectomy
  • Epilepsy in eloquent cortex: resection versus responsive neurostimulation
  • Lesional epilepsy: lesionectomy versus ECoG-guided resection
  • Insular/perisylvian epilepsy: Open resection versus stereotactic ablation (MR-guided laser ablation/radiofrequency thermocoagulation) versus responsive neurostimulation
  • Hypothalamic hamartoma: open surgery versus endoscopic surgery versus stereotactic radiosurgery versus stereotactic ablation (MR-guided laser ablation/Radiofrequency ablation) versus MRFUS
  • Resective surgery in tuberous sclerosis complex-related epilepsy: tuberectomy and tuberectomy plus
  • Functional hemispheric surgery: vertical versus lateral approach
  • Minimally invasive hemispherotomy: endoscopic, radiofrequency and robotic techniques
  • Lobar/multilobar epilepsy: resection versus disconnection
  • Corpus callosotomy: anterior two-thirds (two-stage) versus complete (one-stage)
  • Temporal lobe epilepsy with preserved function: multiple hippocampal transection versus neuromodulation (deep brain stimulation, responsive neurostimulation)
  • Neuromodulation: comparison of vagus nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation, and responsive neurostimulation.
