Understanding the Epilepsy Surgery Journey - Dr. Ricardo Morcos
Around 20–30% of people with an epilepsy don’t respond well to anti-seizure medications - so what happens next? Dr. Ricardo Morcos (UCLH) joins host Torie Robinson to explain the epilepsy surgery journey: how people are assessed, what tests are involved, and how teams make decisions together.
We discuss:
The “tube map”(!) that helps explain this complex process
Why surgery isn’t talked about enough
Common myths & fears
What to expect from surgery & recovery
How neuromodulation, new medications & trials also fit in
This empowering conversation is for anyone affected by the epilepsies - patients, carers, and clinicians alike! Check out:
