Understand the procedure
What is epilepsy surgery?
Epilepsy surgery is considered for selected people whose seizures remain troublesome despite treatment. Assessment looks at where seizures begin and whether treatment can help without unacceptable effects on important brain functions.
This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Questions for your chosen doctor
Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.
- Do my seizures arise from an area that can be treated surgically?
- What improvement is realistic for the exact procedure proposed?
- How might treatment affect memory, language or mood?
- Which seizure medicines and follow-up would continue afterward?
Your existing case file
Records to organise
We organise the video eeg and other eeg reports alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the epilepsy specialist or neurosurgeon to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.
Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.
Bring together what is available
- Video EEG and other EEG reports
- Epilepsy-protocol MRI and other completed imaging
- Seizure diary and history of medicines tried, including adverse effects
- Neuropsychology and multidisciplinary epilepsy-surgery assessments
- Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details
When you cannot attend yourself
How Redwood takes your case to your doctor
- Tell us whom you have chosen. Share the doctor’s name, hospital or clinic, and the decision you want reviewed.
- Prepare the case with us. We organise your existing records, treatment timeline and questions, then coordinate the appointment.
- We attend with your case. Your Care Steward takes the organised epilepsy surgery case file to the epilepsy specialist or neurosurgeon you selected and puts forward your recorded questions. After the consultation, we share the doctor's recommendations and consultation documents with you.
A video call during the consultation can be arranged if the doctor allows.
We respond within 12 hours of your enquiry.
