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.
The empty half will fill with cerebral spinal fluid.
Cranial surgery is a medical procedure that involves operating on the skull and the brain. It is performed to treat conditions such as brain tumors, aneurysms, traumatic brain injuries, and other brain-related problems. The surgery is typically performed by a specialized neurosurgeon.
Yes, brain tumors can often be removed through surgery. The feasibility of surgery depends on factors such as the size and location of the tumor, as well as the overall health of the patient. It is important to consult with a neurosurgeon to determine the best treatment approach.
a brain surgeon is also called a Neuro Surgeon and brain surgery is neurosurgery

No, Usually they have to be removed by surgery. but get medical attention right away if you have a brain tumor. They are very serious, and can kill you!!
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.
The empty half will fill with cerebral spinal fluid.
Brain surgery is expensive but it depends on a lot of factors such as complications after surgery and how long your hospital stay is. I had brain surgery in November of 2006 but I had complications that left my left side weaker than my right and was required to have extensive therapy and over a month and half hospital stay. Over all, my bills have reached close to $750,000 or more. That is not including prescription costs since my surgery.

Unless you're half way through open brain surgery - no. Your skull is still an enclosed cavity and won't let your brain escape regardless of speed.
