چکیده
In order for any epilepsy surgery programme to be effective there has to be a critical mass of staff with the necessary expertise in order to carry out the appropriate evaluations in patients in the pre-operative period, and the post-operative follow up. In both adults and children, following pre-operative evaluation it is essential that the information acquired is critically appraised in a multidisciplinary meeting, not only to determine the suitability of the patient for surgical intervention, but also to attempt to assess the potential risks and benefits of surgery. The meeting should be structured to ensure that the information obtained is carefully assessed and any shortfall in the information identified.
