Background:
Epilepsy surgery is the treatment of choice for drug-resistant epilepsy associated with hippocampal sclerosis. Patients over 50 years of age have an increased risk of postoperative complications after epilepsy surgery.
Methods:
The authors present an operative video demonstrating right temporal lobe disconnection in a case of hippocampal sclerosis, along with an anatomical introduction and a section providing strategies to minimize complications.
Results:
In selected cases, temporal lobe disconnection represents a viable alternative to resective procedures.
