Objective:
To observe the clinical effects of lesionectomies combined with bipolar coagulation of the surrounding cortex (BCSC) on symptomatic epilepsy.
Methods:
The effectiveness of lesionectomies combined with BCSC (71 patients) and of lesionectomies alone (78 patients) were compared in follow-up surveys conducted 2 - 5 years (average of 37 months) post-operation.
Results:
Treatment in the BCSC group was significantly more effective than in the lesionectomy group (P < 0.01). Meanwhile, patients in the BCSC group suffered no permanent post-operative complications.
Conclusion:
Lesionectomy combined with BCSC is a new, effective and safe treatment for symptomatic epilepsy.
