Opinions about epilepsy surgery in adults with epilepsy.

Objective: The goal of the current study was to investigate the opinions of adult patients with epilepsy (PWE) with regard to the application of epilepsy surgery for their condition.

Methods: We surveyed all the consecutive adult PWE with at least one year history of epilepsy who were referred to our neurology clinics (Shiraz University of Medical Sciences) from September 2022 until January 2023. Using a questionnaire, the degree of acceptance of epilepsy surgery was measured depending on the chance of seizure freedom and risk for surgery complications.
