Ancient skulls have been found with holes cut in them, showing evidence that the bone re-grew after the cuts had been made. Whether this was actually brain surgery is another matter, but it's clear that that patient lived for years after the procedure. The procedure is called trepanning or trepanation.

Can you get surgery for epilepsy?
Yes, but this is only an option for someone who has a very serious form or epilepsy, so for the vast majority of people it is not an option. It could even be dangerous, as any operation on the brain can be dangerous. Someone with a minor form or epilepsy would not be considered for surgery. Many people with more serious types would not be considered for surgery either. It is really only for very severe cases. Some brain surgery is done for serious things like removing a brain tumour. A brain tumour can cause seizures, so removing the tumour could also stop the seizures. There can also be other damage to the brain, which is not a tumour but may be causing seizures. If it is safe to remove it, the person may be considered for surgery.

Is brain cyst surgery dangerous?
Every surgery carries risk with it. Surgery on the head would be even riskier. However, if surgery is indicated, it's probably a better option than not having it. Be sure to get a second opinion before any major medical procedure. Doctors aren't gods; they're just guys doing work. The above is true and especially the brain, but leave the worrying up to the surgeon because that's what he/she is being paid for and a good prayer or two never hurt. Usually brain surgery is quite successful.
