What is another word for callosectomy?
Pronunciation: [kˌaləzˈɛktəmˌɪ] (IPA) 
Callosectomy refers to the surgical removal or cutting of the callosal fibres present in the corpus callosum. This is a significant procedure that has been used as a treatment for epileptics. However, there are various other synonyms that are used to describe the same process. These include commissurotomy, corpus callosotomy, and split-brain surgery. All of these terms are used interchangeably to describe this surgical technique. The procedure involves making a surgical incision through the corpus callosum, which separates the two hemispheres of the brain. This allows for communication between the two sides of the brain to be substantially reduced, which can help in reducing the severity of epileptic seizures.
