Main complications of epilepsy surgery performed in a single center in Latin America
This large LATAM cohort highlights the low complication rate of epilepsy surgery. Early referral of DRE patients demonstrated statistically significant favorable outcomes and fewer postoperative complications. Despite its demonstrated safety when performed by experienced specialists, its underutilization persists due to access barriers, even though untreated epilepsy poses significantly greater risks.
