Saudi German Hospital offers dedicated Hemispherectomy supported by experienced epilepsy surgeons, advanced neuroimaging, and specialized neurophysiology facilities. Established in 2021, the JCI accredited hospital is situated in Alexandria, Egypt and has 3000 beds supporting comprehensive epilepsy care.
Hemispherectomy is a major neurosurgical procedure used for selected patients whose seizures originate from a severely diseased or dysfunctional cerebral hemisphere. The procedure separates the affected hemisphere from the healthy hemisphere so that abnormal electrical activity cannot readily propagate. In many cases, the operation involves functional disconnection rather than complete removal of the hemisphere. Careful preoperative evaluation is essential because the potential benefits and neurological risks depend on the underlying brain disorder and the function already supported by each hemisphere.
Jaslok Hospital & Research Center provides specialized Hemispherectomy with an emphasis on precise seizure-focus management, careful preservation of neurological function, and individualized postoperative rehabilitation. Established in 1973, the NABH, JCI accredited hospital is based in Mumbai, India and has 350 beds supported by modern neurosurgical and epilepsy-care facilities.
Hemispherectomy is generally reserved for severe, medication-resistant epilepsy associated with significant abnormalities affecting one side of the brain. Before surgery, a multidisciplinary epilepsy team evaluates seizure patterns, brain structure, neurological function, and developmental status to determine whether the procedure is appropriate. During the operation, the affected hemisphere is disconnected, and in some techniques, portions of abnormal brain tissue are also removed. Long-term follow-up and rehabilitation are important for monitoring seizure control and supporting recovery of motor, cognitive, and functional abilities.
RMC Clinics, Budapest provides specialized Hemispherectomy with a focus on controlling severe drug-resistant seizures and improving neurological function in appropriately selected patients. Established in 2000, the accredited hospital is located in Budapest, Hungary and operates 10 beds with advanced neurosurgical and epilepsy-care facilities.
Hemispherectomy is a specialized epilepsy surgery in which most or all of one cerebral hemisphere is disconnected from the functioning brain. It may be considered for patients with severe, drug-resistant epilepsy arising predominantly from one side of the brain, particularly when seizures significantly affect daily life. The procedure aims to prevent abnormal electrical activity from spreading to the healthy hemisphere. Depending on the underlying condition, different techniques may be used, including functional hemispherectomy or hemispherotomy.
