If your seizures cannot be controlled with medications, then you may be a candidate for surgery to help you achieve seizure freedom. At the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Level 4 Epilepsy Center, our physicians use data from different brain maps to identify precisely where seizures are originating. Finding the seizure source — or seizure focus — is the first step toward successful treatment. One treatment option for seizures is laser ablation surgery. Learn more about our advanced seizure mapping and laser ablation surgery as a minimally invasive treatment for people with epilepsy.
