Exploration and Evaluation of Amygdalo-Hippocampectomy According to Prof. Coubes' Technique: An Anatomical, Clinical, and Educational Approach
Sponsor: University Hospital, Montpellier
Summary
The goal of this retrospective study is to evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes and complications associated with amygdalo-hippocampectomy using the surgical technique developed by Pr. Coubes (Montpellier, FRANCE). The main questions it aims to answer are: * What are the complications and evolution of clinical outcomes in patients treated with this technique for hippocampal sclerosis or other intern temporal diseases ? * What variables are associated with better seizure control following surgery? Participants include 234 patients treated over the last 30 years at the CHU de Montpellier, FRANCE. The study will analyze clinical data, including seizure outcomes based on ILAE criteria, post-operative complications, and factors influencing recovery and reintegration into daily life.

Amygdalo-Hippocampectomy
This technique is characterized by specific hallmarks that distinguish it from other approaches, including the Yasargil technique and newer minimally invasive methods. It integrates precise anatomical targeting with optimized surgical pathways to enhance outcomes in patients with those pathologies. The approach of the choroidal fissure will be explained in the article. By addressing limitations observed in traditional techniques, it aims to minimize neurological deficits while achieving better seizure control.
