When a large portion of the brain is removed, like the whole left hemisphere, what is put in to fill the void?
I’m watching "Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story". One of the cases they showed involved this procedure on a girl with frequent and severe seizures.

We fill the cavity with irrigation solution at the time of surgery before closing. After surgery, though, the space is filled with cerebral spinal fluid which is normally produced by the brain. (More specifically the choroid plexus, which is a tissue found in the ventricles, or fluid-filled spaces, of the brain.)

My husband has his right front temprial(1/4 of brain) removed due to brain cancer.They didn’t "add" anything to to fill in the space.I realize this is different then what your asking,but I thought I would respond because it’s kinda similar.I will tell you this though….With my husband it was weird because he had a large indent on his skull where the surgery took place,and the part of his brain was removed.
