Comparing the effects of cortical resection and vagus nerve stimulation in patients with nonlesional extratemporal epilepsy
Original language description
The main purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the effects of resective surgery (RESgr-26 patients) and vagus nerve stimulation (VNSgr-35 patients) on seizure frequency (2 and 5 years after surgery) in patients with nonlesional extratemporalepilepsy (NLexTLE). We analyzed hospital admission costs directly associated with epilepsy (HACE) in both groups at the same follow-up. The decrease in seizure frequency from the preoperative levels, in both VNSgr and RESgr, was statistically significant (p < 0.001). The seizure frequency reduction did not differ significantly between the follow-up visits for either group (p = 0.221 at 2 years and 0.218 at 5 years). A significantly higher number of Engel I and Engel I + II patients were found in RESgr than in VNSgr at both follow-up visits (p = 0.04 and 0.007, respectively). Using McHugh classification, we did not find statistically significant differences between both groups at both follow-up visits.
