  "Surgery can often reduce or eliminate seizures and even allow some patients to cease antiepileptic medication therapy," describes Richard Kim, MD, MS, a neurosurgeon and surgical director of The Epilepsy Center.
  
  Hoag's state-of-the-art neuroradiology enables enhanced imaging of the pathology, and epileptologists and surgeons are skilled in functional brain mapping prior to and during surgery.This, combined with sophisticated neuronavigational equipment and microsurgical techniques, allows neurosurgeons to precisely reach and resect the seizure areas safely.
  
  "Currently, surgery is the only cure for epilepsy, as it eliminates the seizures by removing the segment of the brain causing the condition," Dr. Kim explains."Many epilepsy patients can benefit from surgery; therefore, we encourage patients to undergo an evaluation at an epilepsy center like Hoag with fellowship trained epileptologists and neurosurgeons armed with the best diagnostic technology."
  
  Hoag also offers vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), which can be used as an alternative to the administration of medication therapy alone.The VNS generator delivers low-level intermittent nerve stimulation to the vagus nerve and can effectively block seizures from occurring in a good percentage of individuals.
  
  Both Drs. Swartz and Kim are available for second opinion consultations.

  Neurosurgeon Richard Kim, M.D., specializing in epilepsy surgery, oversees the surgical component of the Epilepsy Center.He says early intervention is particularly important for children with medically intractable diseases."There is accumulating evidence that frequent and long-standing seizures are harmful to the brain and to the child's development.That is why it is important to intervene early in a child's course," he says.
