Stereotactic epilepsy surgery

doc. MUDr. Zdeněk Vojtěch, Ph.D., MBA
Centrum pro epilepsie, Nemocnice Na Homolce, Praha

The reason for introduction of novel therapies in epilepsy surgery is invasiveness and adverse effects of existing therapies. Inclinical epileptology, radiosurgical, radiofrequency, laser, and ultrasound ablations have been used. The article summarizescontemporary literary data and, in case of radiosurgery and radiofrequency ablations, personal experience with these methods.

Keywords: epilepsy surgery, laser, radiosurgery, stereotaxy, thermolesion, ultrasound
