Functional - Anesthesia Techniques for Temporal Lobe Resection

This episode examines intraoperative results and surgical outcomes from a pilot comparative study of asleep-awake-asleep versus general anesthesia in temporal lobe resections. The study, published in Neurosurgical Review in 2026, offers valuable insights for neurosurgeons and anesthesiologists managing patients undergoing epilepsy surgery. Key findings highlight differences in procedural efficiency and patient recovery associated with each anesthetic approach, providing data to inform clinical decision-making.
