The episodes of seizures often involve increasing the risk of injury, hospitalization and mortality, and poor mental health. It also has a detrimental effect on an individual’s confidence and self-esteem. A 17-year-old got rid of his seizures after a ground-breaking surgery, putting an end to 13-year-old turmoil.
The Scottish teenager with epilepsy underwent surgery to remove a portion of his brain and he is now no longer having seizures for the first time in 13 years.
According to media reports, the surgery removes the brain tissue that causes seizures and ten weeks later, the body has not had a single incident of seizures.
In October this year, the boy received the procedure at the Edinburgh Children’s Hospital. According to SWNS, the innovative laser technology — known as MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy — is minimally invasive and the surgery takes just under two hours with a relatively short recovery time.
According to a report by BBC Scotland, the teen said he hopes to one day get his driver’s license, play rugby or go skiing, things that had been too risky for him to do before the surgery.
“I wish I could go to parties with my friends. I see photos of all my friends together and I am jealous that I can’t go but they can,” he said as quoted BBC Scotland News.
“I’ve never had such a long period not having a seizure, it’s an amazing relief. I’m so happy, he added.
