We reviewed medical records of all epilepsy surgery cases performed at Dr. Soetomo General
Hospital Surabaya from 2009-2016. Pre-operative conference was employed with the team and the
family. The team includes pediatric neurologist/epileptologist (PIG), neurosurgeons (WS, HS, MAP, and
AT) and neuroradiologist. Pre-operative examination included semiology of the seizure, full neurologic
examination, interictal scalp electroencephalography (EEG), brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),
with specific attention to the area of suspected ictal onset. Surgical procedures were performed by
the author (WS) with assistance by HS and AT. Pre-operative and post-operative treatment was by
all authors. Regimen and dosing adjustment of anti-epileptic drugs (AED) was by neuropediatrician
(PIG). Specimens from operative field were sent to pathology.
