Why do you have a seizure after a brain tumor is removed?

Seizures after the removal of a brain tumor can occur due to several factors, including irritation of the brain tissue during surgery, changes in brain chemistry, or the presence of scar tissue. The brain may also undergo electrical disturbances as it adjusts to the removal of the tumor. Additionally, if the tumor was located in or near areas responsible for controlling seizures, its removal can lead to increased seizure activity. These factors can contribute to the onset of seizures post-surgery.
