Risk factors and results of hemispherotomy reoperations in children.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with malformations of cortical development have a higher risk of seizure recurrence, and these malformations comprised the main etiology in the reoperation series. Failure of an initial hemispherotomy usually occurs due to incomplete disconnection and needs to be extensively assessed. Outcomes of reoperation are most often favorable, with acceptable complication rates. PMID: 32234979 [PubMed - in process]
