Yes, the split brain is when the corpus callosum connecting the two hemispheres is cut, and a hemispherectomy is when one entire hemisphere is removed.

Yes. A hemispherectomy removes one hemisphere of the brain, while split brain syndrome is when there is some sort of rift of varying degrees between the hemispheres.

in both procedures the corpus callosum is split ...the procedure is called hemispherectomy and the result would be a split brain person....
