We understand that treatment for epilepsy can be a very long and for many a treatment that goes for life time. Epilepsy is a condition that leads to seizures in people of all ages. In simple language in India it is also know as Mirgi. Epilepsy symptoms can vary widely. Some people may lose awareness during a seizure while others don't. Some people stare blankly for a few seconds during a seizure. Others may repeatedly twitch their arms or legs, movements known as convulsions.
With advent of medical technology the most adavnced and permanent solution for Epilesy is Epilepsy Surgery which is part of the most advanced "Functional Neurosurgery". There are hardly any surgeons in Northern Part of India and none in Punjab, Himachal and Jammu Kashmir who have expertise in Functional Neurosurgery or surgery for epilepsy. Dr Jaspreet Singh Randhawa in Mohali is one of the best exponents of Functional Neurosurgery in Northern India that includes Punjab, Uttrakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. Dr Randhawa has performed functional neurosurgery in many patients having drug resistant epilepsy, diabetic neuropathy, paraplegic patients (patients who have no movement of hands or leg and are bed ridden)
Epilepsy surgery is definitely one of the most advanced and the best treatment for epilepsy in India. However, not all patients suffering from epilepsy are candidate for an epilepsy surgery. Surgery for epilesy is best for patients where atleast two anti-epileptic medicines have failed to control the symptoms. This type of epilepsy is called Drug Resistant Epilepsy. Epilepsy surgery is most effective when seizures always occur in a single location in the brain. Epilepsy surgery is a procedure that removes an area of the brain where seizures occur.
In order to select the correct candidates for the surgery there are certain that needs to be done. They usually include test like MRI of Brain with Epilepsy Protocol, EEG, Video EEG and blood tests.
SURGERY
- Resective surgery is the most common epilepsy surgery done in Punjab, India. It involves the removal of a small portion of the brain. The surgeon cuts out brain tissue from the area of the brain where seizures occur. This is usually the site of a tumor, brain injury or malformation. Resective surgery is usually performed on one of the temporal lobes. This is an area of the brain that controls visual memory, language comprehension and emotions.
- Deep Brain Stimulationis the use of a device that is placed permanently deep inside the brain. The device releases regularly timed electrical signals that disrupt seizure-inducing activity. This procedure is guided by MRI. The generator that sends the electrical pulse is implanted in the chest.
Dr Jaspreet Singh Randhawa and Dr Aditya Gupta are the best trained and highly qualified neurosurgeon for functional neurosurgery like surgery for drug resistant epilepsy in Punjab and Delhi/NCR in Northern India. The cost of the surgery depends upon the the type of surgery performed. If the surgery is ressective surgery from Epilepsy then the cost would be lower than that of a deep brain stimulation surgery. The choice of the surgery is done keeping in mind the long term benefit to the patient. Hence it is advisable to consult neurosurgeon for the treatment and understanding the cost. The cost of Epilepsy surgery in Mohali, Punjab and Delhi/NCR in India would be in range of INR 3 lacs to 15 lacs depending upon the surgery performed.
If you have an individual health insurance policy then this surgery is covered after a period of 2 years from the date of inception of the policy. However if you are a beneficiary of company given policy then the surgery is covered from day one. Some insurance companies do not cover this surgery under the guise of genetic disorder. Always go through the terms of your health insurance policy like room rent capping and co-payment to avoid any kind of financial shocks later on.
