Cortical Incision, Opening the Temporal Horn, Removal of Amygdala 

An incision 1 -2 cm in length is made, lateral to M-1 and anteromedial to M-2, into the inferior insulae sulcus opening the anterior portion of the uncinate fasciculus. The incision is placed where the perforating branches to the insula have been coagulated and lies between the temporopolar and anterior temporal arteries. The amygdala is found some few mm in depth from the cortical surface.
