Synopsis: This collection of epilepsy surgical cases illustrates patients with straightforward and challenging pharmacoresistant epilepsy. These cases convey the advancements, investigative strategies, past and modern surgical tools, and sophisticated state-of-the-art of epilepsy surgery and its disciplines. This textbook is organized into four major sections that parallel the contemporary FDA-approved and clinically applicable approaches: resective surgery, disconnection procedures, laser therapy, and neuromodulation. The chapters provide a case-based, interactive, and multidisciplinary integrative approach to pre-operative evaluation, data analysis, and surgical decision-making. In addition, we present alternative approaches to certain diagnostic tools, decision-making strategies, and surgical interventions.This textbook will provide trainees and clinicians with an exhaustive understanding of epilepsy surgery. Moreover, it will be an invaluable resource for preparation for the epilepsy board examination
