Abstract Objective An emerging approach in surgery is to propose prehabilitation programs strengthen the patient's functional abilities before surgical interventions, thus helping them cope better with its consequences. In drug‐resistant language‐dominant temporal lobe epilepsy (LdTLE), treatment carries a risk of increasing cognitive deficits, notably word‐finding difficulties (anomia) and verbal memory that negatively impact personal, social, occupational activities. this study, we invited 15 LdTLE patients enroll speech language program adapted specifics their difficulties, organized daily during preoperative period. Methods Naming performance (for trained untrained words) was studied twice prehabilitation, 1 week 6 months after surgery. Results were analyzed using generalized linear mixed effects model. We found significant effect on items Postoperatively, showed slight nonsignificant increase compared baseline, whereas decline same comparison. Significance conclude words protected from postsurgical than words. Our research can contribute patient support decision‐making; ultimately, might be considered as part individualized care. These encouraging results lay groundwork for more detailed or powerful examinations protective skills.
