How long does it take to recover after epilepsy surgery?

Recovery time after brain surgery for epilepsy varies depending on the individual and the type of surgery performed. Generally, the first few days to a few weeks after surgery are the most challenging. Many people experience immediate improvement, while for others it may take several weeks or months to see the full benefits. Most people are hospitalized for several days after surgery before returning home. Full recovery may take several months, with gradual improvements in seizure control over time. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for specific recovery time expectations.
