My granddaughter just went this procedure yesterday, and was performed by Dr. Fallah. My granddaughter is doing well ☺. Thank you Dr.Fallah
This is why I'm getting into neurosurgery... It's just so amazing what the brain can do
Congrats Dr Aria. Excellent talk.
Doctor Strange brought me here, so incredible
Long live doctors.. we value you.
Love new medicine.
How come patients don't get contralateral paralysis, blindness, deafness etc?
Why can't a small amount be cut out/ severed? Why must it be the whole half?
I thought there was a surgery where you can add a small electrode to part of the brain in a effort to shock out the seizure impulses. I understand I'm probably not saying this right
yess thats right
watch episode 2 of "Diagnosis" in Netflix
i believe you might be referring to deep brain stimulation. they have tried it with parkinson’s and tourette’s
You are referring to a common, minimally invasive neurosurgery called brain laser ablation.
I’m sorry. Did he say David Geffen?
here because DR strange did this on what if
Dude how they take out half your brain and still alive??
1 half of you is alive and 1 half is dead
It's a problem without a solution.
Why you wouldn't be?
In my opinion it is because the hemispherectomy does not target certain life sustaining rehions such as brainstem and thalamus based on surgical precision and anatomical imaging preventing the neurosurgeon from damaging these key life sustaining regions. So they likely survive ig.
Wat about the removed brain part, i mean wat they do with dat???? Pls reply
