Abstract
Resective epilepsy surgery can lead to sustained seizure control in 70-80% of patients evaluated for epilepsy surgery, indicating that up to 30% of patients still have recurrent seizures after surgery. Definitions of failed epilepsy surgery vary amongst studies. This review focuses on seizure outcome predictors after reoperation, possible mechanisms of failure and best management for this difficult patient population.
