Can Epilepsy Be Caused Due To Non Tonsils Removal?

I never had my tonsils removed and never developed wisdom teeth. Seizures began and was diagnosed with Complex-partial epilepsy in '74 when 17y.o.. My seizures have never been controlled fully, I've been on medicine after medicine and had an unsuccessful l. temporal lobectomy in '96. Do you think lack of tonsilectomy of lack of wisdom may have began been been part of the cause? They're close to the brain.
