Abstract
Many different surgical procedures are performed for medically refractory partial epilepsy. Some surgical therapies are performed to cure the epilepsy (for example unifocal epilepsy), others are palliative procedures. To cure epilepsy, temporal lobectomy is the most common surgical procedure. The different techniques are shortly described, indications and complications are discussed.
