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.
