Context:

Hemispherectomy, a surgical procedure to remove one cerebral hemisphere, can lead to long-term complications.
Managing the resulting cranial dead space is a significant challenge in post-hemispherectomy care.
Existing methods for complication reduction after hemispherectomy have limitations.

Purpose:

To present an original hemispheric disconnection technique.
To reduce the dead space within the skull following hemispherectomy.
To achieve outcomes comparable to anatomic hemispherectomy with improved reliability.

Summary:

A novel hemispheric disconnection technique is described in detail.
This technique aims to mitigate long-term complications associated with hemispherectomy.
