Epilepsy Surgery

A surgical option when seizures resist medication: locating the focus with video-EEG and advanced MRI, a board decision and surgery — one center, one team.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

A Joint Epilepsy Board

Surgery is not decided by the surgeon alone; neurology, neurosurgery, neuroradiology and neuropsychology evaluate together.

Finding the Focus by Seizure, Not by Image

A real seizure is captured on long-term video-EEG; the focus is defined by the patient's own seizure, not by MRI alone.

Neuromodulation Experience

If resection is unsuitable, neuromodulation options such as VNS are assessed by the same team; DBS infrastructure is in place.

Ownership After Surgery

Medication tapering and seizure-diary follow-up continue after you return home; reviews are planned remotely.

International Patient Team

Visa, transfer, accommodation and companion arrangements are handled end to end, with a medical interpreter throughout.

Insurance & agreements

Transparent payment with contracted institutions and private insurers, at home and abroad.

Accommodation & rooms

Companion-friendly modern patient rooms and in-city accommodation support.

International patient services

Visa, airport transfer and 24/7 multilingual medical interpreters.

Transparent, guaranteed price
