- The history of epilepsy and its treatment goes back to ancient times.
- The first series of temporal lobectomies were reported by Penfield and Flanigin (1950).
- Improvement in surgery outcome has not been proportionate to the technological progress.

The history of epilepsy and its treatment goes back to ancient times when it included medicinal herbs, lifestyle modifications, and even surgery. Trepanation is considered the oldest surgical procedure for the treatment of epilepsy. The first series of temporal lobectomies for the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy were reported by Penfield and Flanigin (1950). During the years since then, neuroimaging and other technologies have had remarkable and revolutionary progress. This progress has resulted in tremendous advancements in understanding the underlying causes and pathophysiology of epilepsies. With the help of these technologies and advancements, we may now offer surgery as a safer therapeutic option to more patients who are suffering from drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy. However, the degree of improvement in surgery outcome has not been proportionate to the technological progress.
