Impact of seizure outcome and extent of neocortical resection on emotional well-being in patients with epilepsy one year after temporal lobe surgery
A patient's emotional well-being one year after surgery for pharmacoresistant temporal lobe epilepsy strongly depends on their seizure outcome. As an individual factor, the extent of neocortical resection negatively affects postsurgical emotional well-being, but a favorable seizure outcome outweighs this effect, independent of the resection volume. A favorable seizure outcome even outweighs the negative effects of procedures involving mesial-temporal structures on symptoms of depression.
