Seizures can happen when the electricity in the brain is not working properly. Seizures can cause people to shake and lose awareness, which can be very scary and prevent people from living normal lives. When medications do not work to take away the seizures, sometimes brain surgery can be done to treat them. This procedure starts when doctors take a special picture of the brain to see the area causing the seizures. Then they make an opening in the patient’s head to fix the problem in the brain. Part of the brain can be removed, or a special device that stimulates the brain with electricity can be implanted. It is important for everyone who has seizures or who knows someone with seizures to be aware of the option of surgery, because sometimes surgery can be a cure for the seizures.

Although he was not the first man to operate on the brain, Sir Victor Horsley was the world's first surgeon appointed to a hospital post to perform brain surgery, which happened in 1886 at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square, London. The authors examined the patient records between 1886 and 1899 and found 151 operations performed by Sir Victor Horsley at the National Hospital, including craniotomies, laminectomies, and nerve divisions. The authors present the outcome data and case illustrations of cerebral tumor resections and laminectomies from the nineteenth century. Outcomes and notable pioneering achievements are highlighted.
