Mumbai, Maharastra -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/01/2010 -- Split-brain surgery in India is now being provided to the patients from all over the world with latest facilities and globally benchmarked healthcare services administered by experienced neurosurgeons and physicians trained in international medical practices. Indian hospitals are well equipped to provide a comprehensive range of treatments for severe epilepsy. Split-brain surgery in India is provided at hospitals having a team of highly-trained neurosurgeons of international repute and research analysts working together to develop newer treatment approaches and using them for effective patient cure and care.

Split-brain surgery, also known as corpus callosotomy, is a medical procedure that involves the severing of the corpus callosum, which connects the two hemispheres of the brain, to treat epilepsy. Unlike other epilepsy-treating procedures, a callosotomy does not involve the removal of any brain tissue. There are many types of surgeries to treat epilepsy, but Split-brain surgery is the preferred option when there are multiple sources for a seizure (or no source at all) as opposed to one easily removable focal point. The neurosurgeon makes an incision at the top of the patient's skull to allow access to the brain. Once the corpus callosum is revealed by pulling the brain's two hemispheres apart, the surgeon cuts and removes the fibers connecting the halves of the brain. Initially, the procedure is a "partial callosotomy," which removes only two-thirds of the corpus callosum. The rest of the fibers are cut in a "complete callosotomy" only if the initial removal does not decrease the number of seizures. In addition to the general hazards of surgery, patients after the procedure may have trouble in use of the non-dominant hand, deciding the right word to say, or even connecting words with images. This is the result of a lack of communication between the brain's hemispheres.
