Data from the 2015 NSQIP-P database showed that hemispherectomy was significantly associated with higher perioperative events in children undergoing epilepsy surgery. Quality improvement initiatives for hemispherectomy should target surgical blood loss and wound-related complications. Racial disparities in access to cranial pediatric epilepsy surgery and perioperative complications were also highlighted in the present study.
