Dr Dennis Spencer's (USA) primary focus is surgery for medically intractable epilepsy, seizure disorders associated with brain tumors, and pituitary tumors. He designed the most common neocortex preserving anteromedial temporal resection for medial temporal lobe epilepsy.

In the 1980s he set up an epilepsy surgery program in China and has been active ever since in developing epilepsy surgery in countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
