Curative epilepsy surgeries remove a bad portion of the brain. Because brain tissue is removed, many patients have questions about the epilepsy surgery outcomes or side effects. Dr. Zimmerman discusses some questions about epilepsy surgery including:

- Will I know my family?
- Will I forget things from my past?
- Will I still be the same person?
- Will I be left in a vegetative state?
- Will I be out of work for a long period of time?

With the latest advances in brain mapping and intraoperative monitoring, neurosurgeons at comprehensive epilepsy centers like Mayo Clinic are able to more precisely pinpoint the root cause of the brain in order to preserve normal functioning areas and reduce complications. Additionally, new surgical techniques including minimally invasive surgery can help patients reduce their recovery time.
