Occupational Outcome After Temporal Lobectomy for Refractory Epilepsy Neurol 45:970-977, Sperling,M.R.,et al, 1995 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract We evaluated employment after temporal lobectomy for refractory epilepsy in 86 patients(3.5 to 8 years of follow-up).We concluded that seizures play a large role in limiting employment,and that by alleviating seizures, temporal lobectomy improves employability in people with refractory epilepsy.Surgery thereby provides benefit to individuals with epilepsy by increasing financial independence and to society by reducing unemployment.
