Studying a Brain Surgery Technique for Severe Epilepsy and Brain Tumors

This is a research study looking back at patients who underwent a specific brain surgery technique called amygdalo-hippocampectomy according to Prof. Coubes' method. Researchers want to understand how well this surgical approach works, what complications patients experienced, and how their quality of life improved after the procedure. The study focuses on patients treated for severe epilepsy or brain tumors that affect memory and emotion centers in the brain.

Severe epilepsy and certain brain tumors can cause life-threatening seizures and memory problems that medications cannot control. Brain surgery is sometimes the best option, but different surgeons use slightly different techniques. By carefully studying one specific surgical method and comparing it to others, doctors hope to understand which approaches work best and safest for future patients facing these conditions.
