AB Epilepsy  surgery,  by  definition  is  the  removal  of  an  area  of  brain  with  the  aim  of  alleviating  seizures.  In  order  to  proceed,  evaluation  needs  to  be  undertaken  to  determine  whether  seizure  onset  can  be  localized  to  one  area,  and  whether  that  area  is  functionally  silent.  In  the  majority,  the  aim  is  to  alleviate  seizures  with  no  deterioration  in  function.
