Resective Epilepsy Surgery for Drug-Resistant Focal Epilepsy
JAMA 313:285-293, Jobst, B.C. & Cascino, G.D., 2015
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Epilepsy surgery reduced seizure activity in randomized clinical trials when compared with continued medical therapy. Long-term cognitive, psychiatric, psychosocial, and quality-of-life outcomes were less well defined. Despite good outcomes from high-quality clinical trials, referrals of patients with seizures refractory to medical treatment remain infrequent.
