Cranial Injury Surgery

Cranial injury surgery is a medical procedure to treat severe head injuries that can affect the brain. This surgery involves opening the skull to relieve pressure, remove blood clots, or repair damaged tissues. Doctors may use various techniques, including placing plates or screws to stabilize the skull. The goal is to protect brain function, prevent further injury, and promote healing. Recovery may involve monitoring and rehabilitation to help patients regain normal activities. This surgery is typically performed by a neurosurgeon, a specialist in brain and nervous system conditions.
