The craniotomy is a type of surgical intervention for removing the brain tumors. The latest innovations make craniotomy a minimally invasive procedure. During the operation, specialists make small incisions that help to avoid complications and side effects. Over 90% is a recovery rate of patients after the surgery.
Specialists perform craniotomy for:
- drainage of the hematoma or fractures;
- creation of decompression;
- removal of abscesses;
- making an access to the brain for the treatment of infections and inflammations;
- biopsy;
- removing a tumor;
- some epilepsy types treatment.
A doctor may prescribe craniotomy for disease treatment only after consultation and diagnostics. During the consultation, a patient tells a doctor about preliminary surgical interventions (if any), the presence of chronic diseases, allergies and health conditions at present. Such information help to reduce the risks of complications and fasten rehabilitation after the surgery.
