ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a specific surgical procedure called amygdalo-hippocampectomy, which is used to treat certain brain conditions like hippocampal sclerosis and other related issues. The main goal is to understand how well this surgery works in controlling seizures and what complications might arise after the procedure. The researchers are looking at data from 234 patients who had this surgery over the past 30 years in Montpellier, France. They want to find out what factors help improve patients' recovery and their ability to return to daily activities.

To be eligible to participate in this study, patients must have undergone the amygdalo-hippocampectomy using the specific technique developed by Professor Coubes. This trial is currently recruiting participants of all ages and genders who meet this requirement. Those involved can expect the researchers to analyze their clinical outcomes, including how their seizures have changed and any complications they may have experienced after the surgery. This study is important as it can provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of this surgical approach and help improve treatment options for similar conditions in the future.
