Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (Jipmer) has successfully completed its 100th epilepsy surgery. This milestone highlights advancements in comprehensive and accessible care for individuals with drug-resistant epilepsy.
The Comprehensive Epilepsy Care Programme at Jipmer, initiated in 2015, has shown substantial growth. Approximately 50 epilepsy surgeries have been performed successfully over the last two years alone, indicating an accelerated pace of treatment.
Epilepsy surgery is complex, requiring meticulous evaluation and specialized expertise. Jipmer emphasizes that the true success lies in the positive impact on patients' lives, improving their quality of life, independence, and opportunities.
Looking ahead, Jipmer plans to expand its program by introducing invasive epilepsy monitoring techniques, such as Stereo-EEG. This will enable the evaluation of a wider range of patients, particularly those with complex or hard-to-localize epilepsy.
