Epilepsy Surgical Program
Surgical treatment of epilepsy is usually sought when a child has numerous seizures that cannot be controlled by medications and standard therapy. It is estimated that for 20 percent of children with epilepsy, surgery is their best chance to live seizure-free.
There are various surgical procedures that can be used, but determining which is the right one for any child requires a multidisciplinary epilepsy team, including:
- Pediatric Neuroloist/Epileptologists
- Neurosurgeons
- Child Psychiatrists
- Neuroraidologists
- Pediatric Neuropsychologists
- Social Workers
Children’s neurosurgery team includes nationally-recognized experts in epilepsy surgery – Amanda Yaun, MD and Derek Bruce, MD. The team annually performs about 40 surgeries on children with epilepsy, with excellent outcomes.
