Neurosurgery One

If you have epilepsy and have tried two anti-seizure medications and you’re still having seizures – even one a year – you may have drug-resistant epilepsy. You don’t have to settle for “this is all that can be done.”

An epilepsy evaluation helps diagnose the exact type of epilepsy you have and your options beyond medication or resection surgery. Depending on the diagnosis and your goals, treatment options may include medication adjustments, minimally invasive procedures or implantable devices. For some patients, these treatments can significantly reduce seizures and, in certain cases, lead to seizure freedom.

Examples are:
- Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS)
- Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
- Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)
- Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT); also called laser ablation

Many patients experience:
- meaningful seizure reduction
- fewer severe seizures
- improved quality of life

If a seizure lasts >5 minutes, repeats without recovery, there’s trouble breathing, serious injury, or it’s a first seizure—seek emergency care right away.

Did you know you can keep tabs on your brain’s well-being the same way you monitor your steps or workouts?

Faster recovery from spine surgery starts before you ever go to the hospital.

All Neurosurgery One spine surgery patients attend “Spine School” to learn what they can do before and after surgery to heal quicker, take less pain medication and get back to life faster.

The program is called ERAS: Enhance Recovery After Surgery.

Theresa, a Neurosurgery One spine surgery patient, ran up a mountain 5 months after spine fusion. Literally. She ran up Mt Blue Sky. A feat she credits to her spine surgeon’s expertise and her own willingness to follow the ERAS recommendations.
