The goal of this course is to provide a hands-on educational forum for seasoned epilepsy neurosurgeons to interact with young neurosurgeons in-training and junior neurosurgery faculty. Basic anatomy, historical themes, detailed epilepsy surgery techniques and representative case presentations will be reviewed in both the classroom and laboratory setting. Indications regarding open resection versus neuromodulation will be emphasized. The topics of robotic stereotactic surgery, laser ablation, vagal nerve stimulation, responsive neurostimulation, deep brain stimulation and focused ultrasound will also be reviewed, spanning the armamentarium of innovative techniques available to the aspiring epilepsy neurosurgeon of the modern era.
