Özet
Objectives: Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS), is an adjunctive therapy approved for use in patients with refractory epilepsy, based on stimulation of the exctracranial part of the vagus nerve. In this study, we provide an analysis of seizure outcomes after VNS implantation for pharmacologically resistant epilepsy patients.
