Abstrakt: | Objective: To analyze the causes of ineffective operations and the results of redo surgery in children with recurrent epileptic seizures. Material and Methods: The results of redo surgery were analyzed in 41 (10.6%) out of 387 children with drug resistant epilepsy treated surgically at the Russian Polenov Neurosurgical Institute for the period from 1994 to 2014. Patients with recurrent epilepsy after temporal resection ( n =20), extratemporal resection ( n =7), multifocal resection ( n =6), callosotomy and stereotaxic destruction ( n =8) were selected for analysis. Results: Seizure-free period ranged from early postoperative period to 4 years. According to MRI data, lesions were not completely resected during primary surgery in 23 (56.1%) children. The causes of inefficiency of primary operations were inaccurate identification of epileptic focus in 15 (36.6%) patients; incomplete resection of epileptogenic and / or epileptic foci or incomplete disconnection of paroxysmal activity distribution pathways in 14 (34.1%) cases; epileptic foci de novo in 8 (19.5%) cases; inadequate surgical strategy in 4 (9.8%) patients. Redo surgery usually implied an extended previous resection in 34 (82.9%) patients. Engel I outcome after 3 years was achieved in 41.1% of patients, after 5 years - 38.3%, after 10 years - 36.4%. Conclusion: Redo surgery is quite effective and minimally traumatic. Therefore, patients with recurrent epileptic seizures should be considered as candidates for repeated operations if previous interventions turned out to be ineffective. |
