    Abstract Purpose of review: More than 20 new antiseizure medications have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the past 3 decades; however, outcomes in newly diagnosed epilepsy have not improved, and epilepsy remains drug resistant in up to 40% of patients. Evidence supports improved seizure outcomes and quality of life in those who have undergone epilepsy surgery, but epilepsy surgery remains underutilized. This article outlines indications for epilepsy surgery, describes the presurgical workup, and summarizes current available surgical approaches.
    Recent findings: Class I evidence has demonstrated the superiority of resective surgery compared to medical therapy for seizure control and quality of life in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. The use of minimally invasive options, such as laser interstitial thermal therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery, are alternatives to resective surgery in well-selected patients. Neuromodulation techniques, such as responsive neurostimulation, deep brain stimulation, and vagus nerve stimulation, offer a suitable alternative, especially in those where resective surgery is contraindicated or where patients prefer nonresective surgery. Although neuromodulation approaches reduce seizure frequency, they are less likely to be associated with seizure freedom than resective surgery.
    Summary: Appropriate patients with drug-resistant epilepsy benefit from epilepsy surgery. If two well-chosen and tolerated medication trials do not achieve seizure control, referral to a comprehensive epilepsy center for a thorough presurgical workup and discussion of surgical options is appropriate. Mounting Class I evidence supports a significantly higher chance of stopping disabling seizures with surgery than with further medication trials.
