Hemispherectomy

Hemispherectomy: an operation that can save lives, but leaves some consequences

A hemispherectomy is the surgical removal of one of the hemispheres of the brain. This is usually done to treat severe neurological conditions such as hydrocephalus, hemiplegia or epilepsy that cannot be effectively controlled with medication.

The operation is performed under general anesthesia, and surgeons access the brain through an opening of the skull. They then remove one of the brain's hemispheres, including all of its vessels and nerves. This is a very complex procedure that requires highly qualified surgeons and can take from several to several tens of hours.

Although hemispherectomy can save the patient's life, it can also lead to a number of complications and side effects. One of the most serious consequences is the loss of half the brain, which can lead to the loss of some cognitive functions such as learning, memory and communication. It is also possible to develop paralysis, visual impairment and coordination of movements.

Despite this, hemispherectomy is a necessary procedure in cases of severe neurological diseases that cannot be effectively treated by other methods. Thanks to modern technology and surgical techniques, hemispherectomy is becoming safer and more effective, allowing patients to receive the treatment they need.

Hemisphere resection or hemispherectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one of the two hemispheres of the brain. Also called hemicallorectamy or simply hemical resection. The process of hemic resection is a method of removing the affected tumor during neurosurgery. Hemicectomy is used primarily in patients with tumors of various parts of the brain (brain).

Feasibility and indications for hemic access Surgery can be performed on a patient diagnosed with: - Brainstem glioma - Medulloblastoma - Epidemmal meningioma of the occipital lobes - Neuromas - Lipomas

Hemicial access can be achieved using bone
