Over the last decade, the landscape of pediatric epilepsy surgery has undergone significant transformation, driven by the introduction of several emerging technologies that are now supported by an expanding body of evidence. However, this has led to a wide range of treatment practices, making it challenging for clinicians to make informed decisions. This book addresses several decision-making dichotomies in pediatric epilepsy surgery, including the relative benefits of disconnective compared to resective strategies, the utility of surgical adjuncts like intra-operative electrocorticography, and rationales for different surgical approaches, such as selective amygdalo-hippocampectomy versus anteromesial temporal lobectomy. It also explores dichotomies between traditional approaches and contemporary modalities, such as microsurgical resection versus laser interstitial thermal therapy. Chapters also offer comparisons of modern technologies, such as different neuromodulation strategies, including vagus nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation, and responsive neurostimulation. This book provides readers with the relevant scientific literature and expert commentary to inform evidence-based approaches to surgical care in pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 642g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 155 x 23 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780323959810\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46939996127482,"sku":"9780323959810","price":107.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1733505267296_book.jpg?v=1733833891","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/pediatric-epilepsy-surgery-techniques-controversies-and-evidence-9780323959810","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
