Have you had an anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) and needed a second surgery to remove more tissue?
While the search results don't specifically address needing additional tissue removal after an ATL, some MyEpilepsyTeam members have shared their experiences with temporal lobe surgeries.
One member mentioned having two brain operations for temporal lobe epilepsy, which significantly reduced their seizure frequency from almost daily seizures to about one per month. They noted experiencing short-term memory issues since the surgery.
Another member's son was scheduled for a left temporal lobectomy, and they were seeking to connect with others who had undergone this procedure to learn about their experiences.
If you're facing the possibility of additional surgery, it's important to discuss with your neurosurgeon:
* Why additional tissue removal might be needed
* The potential benefits and risks
* Expected outcomes based on your specific situation
* Alternative treatment options
Recovery experiences vary, but connecting with others who've been through similar procedures can provide valuable insight and support.
