Hemispherectomy is a surgical procedure where half of the brain is removed or disconnected to treat severe epilepsy or brain tumors. This procedure is typically considered as a last resort when other treatments have failed to control seizures. After the surgery, the remaining part of the brain takes on the functions of the missing half.

Yes, but obviously not all of it. In a hemispherechtomy half the brain is removed. This may seem drastic, but you can operate just fine with one side of your brain. This is usually done when one side of the brain is malfunctioning in such a way as to significantly distress or threaten the life of the patient. Sometimes bits of cortex (brain matter) is removed from those suffering from severe seizures. Most brain surgeons' work consists of traumatic injury, removing tumors or aneurysms.
