Doctors at Nellore Narayana Hospital did a special brain surgery on an 11-year-old boy named Revanth.
He was very sick with a disease called Rasmussen's Encephalitis, which made him have many seizures every day.
The doctors removed the sick part of his brain using a special tool called a Vertical Hemispherectomy.
After the surgery, Revanth is feeling much better and doesn't have seizures anymore.
The hospital has really good machines to help with the surgery, and the treatment was free because of special health plans.
