This review is aiming to discuss the surgical treatment of epilepsy in adult, the presented review was conducted by searching in Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Science Direct, BMJ journal and Google Scholar for, researches, review articles and reports, published over the past years. were searched up to November 2018 for published and unpublished studies and without language restrictions, if several studies had similar findings, we randomly selected one or two to avoid repetitive results. On the basis of findings and results this review found Lesionectomy, mesial temporal resection, temporal and extra temporal surgeries, corpus callosotomy, anterior temporal lobectomy.
