Wyler 1995.

Methods Prospective case series
Participants 70 adults from 1 American centre with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy
Interventions The same procedure for either hemisphere and all participants: anterior lateral 4.5 cm of temporal neocortex was removed, including superior through inferior temporal gyri, leaving hippocampus, parahippocampus, and fusiform gyri. Fusiform gyrus was then dissected piecemeal, leaving only hippocampal and parahippocampal gyri. The hippocampus was removed en bloc to the anterior margin of the cerebral peduncle (partial hippocampectomy (P)) or to the level of the colliculi (total hippocampectomy (T))
Outcomes Seizure outcome assessed by seizure freedom at least 12 months post surgery
