Summary :

The year 2021 saw a series of advances in neurosurgery.

Surgery for epilepsy that is refractory to medical treatment continues to be perfected with improved invasive assessments, as well as a refinement in surgical approaches aimed to limit neurological damage, while reducing the relevance of comitial seizures as much as possible.
