    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

      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.

      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.
