Surgery
Resective surgery included lobectomy (partial or total brain lobe resection), tuberectomy (epileptogenic tuber resection), and tuberectomy plus (resection of epileptogenic tuber and perituberal gyri). Tuberectomy was typically performed on the epileptogenic tuber within or near an eloquent area. Lobectomy was performed in patients with large epileptogenic tubers in the brain lobes. Multiple lobectomies, tuberectomies, tuberectomies plus, and lobectomy combined with tuberectomy/tuberectomies plus were further performed in patients with multiple epileptogenic tubers.
