What is the prognosis after epilepsy surgery? How Long After Brain Surgery Does Epilepsy Occur?

Hello, it is recommended to use a combination of Chinese and Western medicine for epilepsy**, after the symptoms are controlled, the symptoms will be controlled quickly, and it is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine after the symptoms are controlled. Traditional Chinese medicine is small and can achieve the purpose.

** The odds are relatively high. Symptoms vary. In fact, the original area is better, and the appearance of new scars after surgery may cause epilepsy.

Hello! At present, the basic ** of epilepsy is still medication, including traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. A small percentage of refractory epilepsy may be an option for surgery**.

It is important to understand that epilepsy is a treatable condition and that most people with epilepsy have a good prognosis. Practice has shown that most seizures can be reduced or alleviated with prompt and correct diagnosis and reasonable **. The best results may be obtained by correctly selecting the drug and dosage, and measuring the blood concentration of the antiepileptic drug.

Because epilepsy is a chronic disease, it is a long-term practice process, which must be carried out with full patience and love, and through careful clinical observation. In addition to drugs, it also needs to be supplemented by scientific life guidance, neuropsychology and ****, and the full cooperation of both parties can be effective. In addition, in addition to controlling clinical seizures, we must also pay attention to the patient's quality of life, that is, to maintain the patient's relatively normal life, study, and work.

Under this premise, seizures are controlled or minimized to alleviate seizures. Many patients and their families are anxious, listen to media advertisements, go to the doctor when they are sick, and look for the so-called "ancestral secret recipe" everywhere and fall for deception. Some undergo inappropriate surgical procedures**, which do not relieve seizures but leave sequelae.

Therefore, try to choose the method that is suitable for the patient, so that there will be no unnecessary damage.

Most of them will occur after six months, because the formation of epileptic foci requires certain conditions. There is also no seizure of epilepsy. The incidence of epilepsy after head trauma, according to general statistics, the incidence of residual advanced epilepsy after head trauma is about 10%.

It is also related to the location and severity and type of trauma.

1) Degree of trauma: moderate or less head trauma, advanced epilepsy not more than 10%; If it is a severe head injury, the incidence of advanced epilepsy can reach more than 2 0%;

2) Trauma site: It is believed that top injuries are more likely to leave advanced epilepsy than temporal and occipital injuries;

3) Types of trauma: It is generally believed that the advanced epilepsy of closed trauma is about 2 5%, and if there is an open meningeal operation, the advanced epilepsy can reach 20 50%;

5) Whether there is early epilepsy: If there is an early seizure after trauma, the late epilepsy can reach more than 40%. If the type, location, and complications of the trauma are not clearly described, but the injury may be severe based on the patient's history of coma and convulsions, so there is a high possibility of late epilepsy, and measures should be taken to prevent it as soon as possible.

Measures for the prevention of advanced epilepsy after traumatic brain injury include: correct early treatment, prevention and treatment of complications and appropriate use of antiepileptic drugs, treatment should be done in a timely and thorough manner, to prevent infection, removal of hematoma, foreign body, rectification of depressed fractures, repair of meninges, etc., in recent years, clinical studies have proved that after traumatic brain injury, early application of anticonvulsive drugs can significantly reduce the occurrence of advanced epilepsy, so it has been advocated that antispasmodic drugs should be used regardless of the severity of brain trauma to prevent seizures, and a small amount of medication has a preventive effect.

What do people with epilepsy need to look out for after surgery? Epilepsy is a long process, and the care of epilepsy patients after surgery is particularly important. So what do epilepsy patients need to pay attention to after surgery?

Let's take a closer look.

1.After epilepsy surgery**, you need to keep the surgical incision clean and dry, and you can usually take a shower 1 month after the stitches are removed. Because if you go to take a bath too early, the wound will come into contact with water, which will easily induce infection, which will have a poor effect on **.

2.Exercise reasonably and maintain a happy mood. Postoperative epilepsy patients should formulate a set of fitness plans for themselves according to their own physical recovery, insist on exercising, gradually recover their physical strength, and also play a very important role in disease recovery and prevention.

3.After epilepsy surgery**, head trauma is prevented. This is because the incidence of epilepsy after head injury is generally between 4% and 53%, accounting for 5% of patients with epilepsy and 20% of symptomatic epilepsy.

Therefore, it is important to prevent the surgical area from being hit by external force, because the surgical bone flap has not yet fully healed with the surrounding skull at this time.

4.Insist on follow-up visits, so that ** can be continued. The biggest problem for epilepsy patients** is to continue to take medicine, but they can't always take medicine, so what should I do?

Patients must follow the doctor's instructions to insist on re-examination, take medicine on time, and remember to contact the doctor before stopping all drugs, and gradually stop the drugs to prevent sudden withdrawal of drugs and cause diseases**.

The above points are the introduction of what epilepsy patients need to pay attention to after surgery, I believe you have an understanding of it, epilepsy is a more serious brain disease, and more friends are currently troubled by epilepsy, which will also bring more harm to their health, remind everyone to beware of the appearance of epilepsy, and to analyze the hair of this disease, it is necessary to carry out epilepsy prevention. Finally, I sincerely wish the patients a happy life as soon as possible!

Complications of surgery:

Wound infection: Wound infection is a common complication of surgery, and the prevention method is strictly aseptic surgery, with prophylactic antibiotic injections before and after surgery. In addition, it is necessary to rely on the patient's resistance, if the patient is malnourished or has poor resistance, it may lead to infection, and the wound will not heal in a short time.

Local bleeding: Although the hemostasis effect is good during the operation, after the operation, the patient may be disturbed by emotions, and the blood pressure suddenly rises, causing the already closed blood vessels to rupture. Others, such as hemophilia or renal dialysis patients, patients with blood disorders, or those with poor vasoconstriction, should be aware of the possibility of bleeding.

Neuropsychiatric complications: cranial nerve palsy, hemiplegia, visual field defects, loss of speech ability, amnesia, disunion syndrome, recurrence of original damage symptoms, mental illness, etc.

1. First of all, some people in life say that epilepsy patients will have a reduced probability of full recovery due to long-term seizures, or they may not be good at all, but in fact, under normal circumstances, there will be no sequelae after epilepsy.

2. Epilepsy is caused by abnormal discharge of brain nerves, resulting in transient dysfunction of the brain, and epileptic seizures will cause excessive convulsions of the whole body to consume physical energy and hurt brain nerves, but not every seizure will cause obvious brain damage, and not every brain damage is irreversible.

3. There is also a certain difficulty in the development of epilepsy, so it is very important to choose a method that is suitable for the patient's condition and adhere to it, we must learn more about epilepsy, and it is important to do a good job in the prevention of epilepsy.

Precautions: Finally, we want to say that for epilepsy, we must detect it early, and only frequent seizures or prolonged seizures are not given in time, which will cause permanent brain damage.
