Of the 30,000 persons in whom epilepsy develops annually in the United Kingdom, in approximately 6000 (20%), intractability develops. Some of these patients will be appropriate for epilepsy surgery. We aimed to estimate the number of patients who should be considered surgical candidates, by extrapolation from a population-based study of prognosis and the number who are receiving epilepsy surgery, by a survey of U.K. neurosurgeons.
