Hi Michelle, I’m not sure of the names of the procedures. My surgeon told me mine was very typical with no surprises. I now that it was a temporal lobe location. And they basically remove all of the damaged tissue, with the expectation that it will not be able to interfere with brain function and cause seizures. I guess it would be considered a partial lobectomy.

Thank you for responding. They talked to me about a lobectomy but I went with laser ablation but did not help. My scar tissue was on the left side and I am right handed so I have more issues with Expressive aphasia. It is very hard when you are a nurse trying to have a conversation with a patient. I have gone through so many types of medicine and not getting better. I think ts hormonal related. My Dr at Mayo Clinic would like me to get a VNS buti have not heard of any good responses unless you are a child.
Very depressing.
