Temporal Lobectomy
Is it possible to have a 2nd temporal lobectomy?
I was told that since seizures occur in the left temporal lobe, surgery is not an option, as it could make my memory problem worse.
Hi Have Any Of You Guys Had Temporal Lobectomy Surgery? If So What Is Outcome And Was It Successful

I have uncontrolled seizures and they went to see about the surgery or another kind of medication, but the medication have not been working.

I’ve always been one who has 1 or 2 seizures per month. Ever since I got the RNS I have more 1 seizure months. If you have more seizures I believe you’d see a bigger… read more
I Was Not Able To Learn How To Add Or Subtract In School. I Have A Learning Disability. I Eventually Went To College And Graduated.
They called it Petit Mal when diagnosed at 7. In 6th grade before getting a Tutor I could not pay attention over 15 minutes. If I had to do any math in school, I could not do normal classes. Eventually in my 20s I was tested, and was found eligible to have a Temporal Lobectomy. I did it because there had never been control on meds. They called them Partial Complex. I was told by not having seizures on the right, other damage to the left dominant side did not take place. I am now controlled, but… read more

Epilepsy Surgery?
Has anyone ever had left temporal lobe resective surgery? Has it been positive or negative? Do you have side effects? Would you recommend it? A new neurologist at Mayo Clinic has told me that’s my best, obvious option (I’m drug resistant, and my VNS has become less and less effective over its 6 years with me!).
Give me your thoughts, please… brain surgery is SCARY.
In Sept . Of 98” , I had a brain surgery, on my left temporal lobe of my brain. It didn’t make me seizure free , but it did help reduce my seizure frequency down, from severe to mild and moderate… read more
Has Anyone Had A Temporal Lobectomy? What Was Your Experience Like? How Did It Improve/ Affect Your Seizures?

Temporal Lobectomy Pain
Hello all, just a general question here. After having a temporal lobectomy. When will the pain subside, as this is only being performed on one hemisphere.
Ouch these are the things I really like to know
Anterior Temporal Lobectomy And Amygdalohippocampectomy Pros And Cons
So today I had my meeting with the brain surgeon to speak about the surgery I'd have
After all the gory details me and my mum fired our questions at him and he said it was would an 80% success rate, 1-2% rate of infection etc, 6-8 hour operation (!) and 3 month recovery. Etc
The major worry from the surgeon was the loss of language I may get as the operation would be on my left side. But he was keen that as we are doing this procedure whilst I'm still "young" I can still retrain my brain
