Craniotomy

A craniotomy is a surgical procedure where a neurosurgeon removes a portion of the skull to access the brain. This operation is typically performed to treat conditions such as brain tumors, traumatic brain injuries, or brain aneurysms. After addressing the issue, the surgeon replaces the skull piece and secures it. Craniotomies are complex and require careful planning and precision, often involving advanced imaging techniques to guide the procedure. Recovery can vary, depending on the individual’s health and the reason for the surgery.
