What Are The Risks Of Laser Surgery To Remove A Small Portion In The Left Frontal Lobe?
My grandson had surgery in July 2011 to try to control night seizures. Even with medication he has continued to have seizures about every seven nights. His doctor is now thinking that with laser surgery to removing a small portion in the left frontal lobe, the seizures could possibly stop..What are the risks of this type of surgery.
Adverse effects with this type of surgery are minimal, but also possible. These include failure to control seizures, brain hemorrhage, behavioral changes, etc. Discuss with the Surgeon for these issues.
