What Is Craniotomy Surgery?

Craniotomy surgery entails extracting part of the skull to access the brain for treatment purposes. This procedure is often employed when dealing with brain tumors, aneurysms, or other abnormalities; bone segments removed are replaced after surgery before closing off any incisions made during the process. Craniotomy enables neurosurgeons to view and operate directly on the brain for improved results and improved patient outcomes.

Who Performs Craniotomy Surgery?

Craniotomy surgeries are conducted by a team of highly experienced neurosurgeons who specialize in advanced brain surgeries. Our surgeons utilize cutting-edge technologies and techniques for precision execution of procedures. In collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, these surgeons ensure comprehensive care prior to, during, and post surgery that maximize patient safety and success.

Types of Craniotomy

  • Brain Tumor Resection : Removal of a brain tumor to relieve symptoms and limit future growth or damage, whilst Aneurysm Clipping refers to placing a clip over an aneurysms in order to protect rupture risks while managing bleeding risks.
  • Epilepsy Surgery : Deliberate removal of brain tissue responsible for seizures in those suffering from drug-resistant epilepsy. Cerebral Arteriovenous
  • Malformation (AVM) Resection : Removal of abnormal blood vessels to reduce hemorrhage risks.

Symptoms Suggesting the Need for Craniotomy

Common indicators that indicate the need for craniotomy may include persistent headaches, seizures, neurological deficits (such as weakness or numbness) vision/speech changes as well as symptoms related to brain tumors/vascular malformations. When these symptoms cannot be managed using conservative treatments alone a craniotomy may be recommended in order to address directly their root cause.

Diagnosis for Craniotomy Surgery

Craniotomy diagnosis requires a comprehensive evaluation, which typically involves neurological exams, imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans, and potentially additional diagnostic tests such as angiogram. All of these assessments help pinpoint the exact location and nature of any problem areas to inform surgical approach and planning decisions.

Treatment Process

The treatment process starts with an extensive pre-surgical evaluation to ensure suitability for craniotomy surgery. Once incisions have been made in the scalp and bone is temporarily removed in order to access specific issues in the brain, then rebuilt securely after. Following surgery, patients receive comprehensive pain management, monitoring, and rehabilitation care in order to support recovery and overall brain health.

Care and Recovery After Craniotomy Surgery

Following craniotomy surgery, recovery typically entails a hospital stay for initial monitoring and healing before gradually returning to daily activities. Our team provides tailored post-op care plans designed to ensure smooth recovery with positive long-term outcomes.
