Anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) is an effective treatment for patients suffering from drug-resistant TLE. In addition to the achievement of seizure freedom, an improvement in the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is another goal of epilepsy surgery. After the development of tools to measure epilepsy-specific HRQOL in the 1990s, HRQOL has become one of the most important outcome assessments for epilepsy [...]
