Yu 2012b.
| Methods | Prospective case series | |
| Participants | 222 children from 1 Chinese centre with resective epilepsy surgery between 2001 and 2009 | |
| Interventions | Classic anterior temporal lobotomies were performed for temporal lobe epilepsy. Tailored resection was completed for participants with extratemporal lobe epilepsy. Resective microsurgeries were conducted with the guidance of presurgical localisation results and aimed to remove epileptogenic zones. Anatomical or functional hemispherectomy was performed on some participants with hemispheric lesions. 62 with temporal lobe epilepsy had anterior temporal lobectomies, 37 had tailored focal or lobar resections with extra temporal lobe epilepsy (6 with tumours), and 1 had anatomical hemispherectomy | |
| Outcomes | Seizure outcome assessed at least 12 months post surgery using Engel classification | |
| Notes | Yu 2012a and Yu 2012b were treated as 2 studies in a single publication. One quality assessment was performed for the single publication | |
