Improved neurodiagnostic tools for examining cerebral structure and function have greatly enhanced the safety and efficacy of surgical treatment for epilepsy, and markedly increased the number of candidates for these surgical interventions. The application of new developments in clinical neurophysiology, as well as recent advances in neuroimaging, for surgical therapy of medically refractory seizures are reviewed. Improvements in surgical results are documented and future directions are discussed.
