Access personalized Hemispherectomy care using advanced medical technology, supported by expert specialists and dedicated international patient services.
At Vinmec Hai Phong, Hemispherectomy is performed using advanced epilepsy surgery techniques and multidisciplinary neurological assessment. Established in 2018, the JCI accredited hospital in Ha noi, Vietnam has 200 beds and provides comprehensive pediatric and adult neurosurgical services.
Hemispherectomy may be recommended for carefully selected patients with debilitating epilepsy that does not respond adequately to anti-seizure medications. Before surgery, specialists perform detailed assessments such as video EEG, MRI, neuropsychological testing, and other functional studies to identify the seizure-producing hemisphere and evaluate the expected neurological outcome. During surgery, the abnormal hemisphere is largely removed or functionally disconnected from the rest of the brain. Postoperative rehabilitation may be required to support movement, speech, and other neurological functions.
