Johns Hopkins Neuroplastic Surgery

Neuroplastic Epilepsy Surgery

Your functional neurosurgeon and neuroplastic surgeon will work together to best optimize surgical placement of your seizure control (neuromodulation) device to minimize the risks of scalp-related complications. We have also developed novel technologies here at Johns Hopkins to reduce or remove the visible deformities that often accompany these life-changing devices.

Recent ResearchEmbedded Neuromodulation Devices

Neuromodulation devices could transform treatment for patients with medicine-resistant epilepsy. However, traditional placement often leads to visible deformities and complications. Now, doctors are exploring ways to integrate epilepsy devices into custom implants.
