Currently, surgical treatment is one of important way to cure drug-resistant epilepsy.
METHODS: Data were collected from Web of Science, Medline, Pubmed, through searching of these keywords: "surgery" and "drug-resistant epilepsy".
RESULTS: An increasing number of studies have shown that surgery plays an important role in the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy. Moreover, the comprehensive treatment mainly based on surgery can achieve the remission and even cure of drug-resistant epilepsy.
CONCLUSION: In this review, we discuss the pathogenesis of drug-resistant epilepsy and the comprehensive treatment mainly based on surgery; this review may provide a reference for the clinical treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy.
