Abstract

Objectives: To describe perioperative complications in different approaches to surgery for epilepsy., Patients and Methods: All patients undergoing surgery related to epilepsy between January 1997 and December 2001 were studied. We gathered information on patient characteristics, diagnosis, anticonvulsant treatment, surgical procedure, type of anesthesia and perioperative complications., Results: Ninety-eighty patients underwent 90 procedures under general anesthesia and 12 procedures with local anesthesia and sedation. Surgery was for anteromedial temporal resection in 74 patients, electrode implantation through the foramen ovale in 10 patients, extratemporal excisions in 7 patients, callosotomy in 3 patients, functional hemispherectomy in 3 patients, implantation of electrode grids in 2 patients, and craniotomy with an awake patient in 3 cases. Complications related to the surgical procedure were intraoperative bradycardia (5 cases), dural tension at the start of surgery (3), bleeding (2) and seizure (1). Complications related to anesthesia were bronchospasm (2 cases), histamine-releasing reaction upon administration of the muscle relaxant (1), and difficult intubation (1). During recovery we saw 1 case of postoperative aphasia, 1 of polyuria, 1 of pulmonary condensation, and 1 of factor VII deficit requiring plasma transfusion., Conclusions: The rate of perioperative complications in surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy is low, the most common complication being self-limiting bradycardia related to surgical maneuvers.
