- If a person still has seizures after trying medications, diet, or other therapies, their seizures are uncontrolled.
- Uncontrolled seizures can increase risk for harm, physical injury, accidental death, and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).
- Every person with uncontrolled seizures should talk with their epilepsy doctor about whether surgery can help them.
- Surgery is not a treatment of last resort for adults or children.
