Figure 1: Epilepsy surgery evaluations are increasing, but resection trends are stable, and the most cited reason is the lack of a hypothesis.
Panel A shows the number of presurgical evaluations across different timepoints. Panel B shows the number of resective surgeries during the same timepoints. Panel C shows the percentage of rejected cases by patient/parent or neurologist. Panel D shows the breakdown of reason for rejection, with the most common being risks and no hypothesis.
