Epilepsy Surgery

Advanced Epilepsy Surgery in Ahmedabad: Transforming Lives with Dr. Deep Parmar

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects millions worldwide, but for about 30% of patients, medications fail to control the recurring seizures. This is known as Drug-Resistant Epilepsy. For these individuals, Epilepsy Surgery offers a life-changing opportunity to achieve seizure freedom and significantly improve their quality of life.

Dr. Deep Parmar, a premier Neurosurgeon in Ahmedabad, specializes in advanced surgical interventions for epilepsy. By combining sophisticated diagnostic technology with precise microsurgical techniques, Dr. Parmar provides international patients with a path toward a safer, more independent future.

🧠 When is Epilepsy Surgery Recommended?

Surgery is considered when a specific “seizure focus” (the area of the brain where seizures start) can be identified and safely removed without affecting vital functions like speech, memory, or movement.

Types of Surgical Interventions:

  • Resective Surgery:The most common form, where a small area of the brain (such as a lobe or a tumor) causing the seizures is removed.
  • Temporal Lobe Resection:Highly successful for patients with Mesial Temporal Sclerosis.
  • Lesionectomy:Removing specific lesions, such as cortical dysplasia or cavernomas, that trigger seizures.
  • Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS):A “pacemaker for the brain” implanted under the skin for patients who are not candidates for resective surgery.
  • Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS):Using electrodes to reduce seizure frequency in complex cases.

🛠 Advanced Diagnostic & Surgical Technology

Success in epilepsy surgery depends on the accuracy of the pre-operative evaluation. Dr. Deep Parmar utilizes a multi-disciplinary approach:

  1. Video-EEG Monitoring:Continuous monitoring to capture and map the exact origin of seizures.
  2. 3 Tesla MRI:High-resolution imaging to detect subtle brain abnormalities that standard MRIs might miss.
  3. Functional MRI & PET Scans:To map the “eloquent” areas of the brain (speech and motor control) to ensure they are protected during surgery.
  4. Intraoperative Electrocorticography (ECoG):Real-time brain mapping during surgery to confirm the seizure focus is fully addressed.

📈 The International Patient Journey

Step 1: Pre-Travel Evaluation

Send your seizure history, medication list, and existing EEG/MRI reports to our team. Dr. Deep Parmar will conduct a video consultation to determine if you are a candidate for surgery.

Step 2: In-Hospital Mapping

Upon arrival in Ahmedabad, the patient usually undergoes a 2–5 day Video-EEG monitoring session in a specialized unit to precisely locate the seizure trigger.

Step 3: The Procedure

Once the focus is mapped, surgery is performed using Microsurgical techniques. Most patients spend a few days in the Neuro-ICU for close monitoring.

Step 4: Long-Term Follow-up

We provide a detailed tapering schedule for anti-epileptic drugs and maintain regular contact through remote tele-consultations to monitor seizure freedom and overall health.
