Abstract
Surgical treatments are often used for human epileptics who are refractory to more conventional anticonvulsant therapies. The goals of surgery are to decrease seizure morbidity or, ideally, bring about a cure to the seizure disorder. As a sizable subpopulation of dogs with seizures are also refractory to currently available anticonvulsant therapies, consideration has been given to evaluating alternative treatments for seizures in dogs. This article discusses the adaptability of surgical treatments used in humans for use in seizure control in affected dogs.
