A brain surgery is required to repair structural problems in your brain. They can either be due to birth defects, diseases, injuries, or any other problems. Some of the conditions that require neurosurgery are:
Aneurysms
Epilepsy
Blood clots
Parkinson’s disease
Stroke
Brain tumours
Nerve damage
Our doctors will guide you through the entire procedure of brain surgery. You need to inform the doctor about any present medications that you’re taking. Your doctor will advise you on which medicines you should stop taking before the procedure. You’ll also have to inform the doctor about any surgeries, allergies, or if you’re taking alcohol. Before the surgery, your hair will be washed with a special soap to kill any germs or bacteria in the region.
There are several forms of brain surgeries such as:
Craniotomy – This type of surgery is done to remove brain tumours, an aneurysm, drain out blood or infection from an infection, or remove any abnormal brain tissue.
Biopsy – This is done to remove some brain tissues or tumours for inspecting them under a microscope.
Minimally invasive endonasal endoscopic surgery – This helps in removing any tumours or lesions from your nose and sinuses.
Minimally invasive neuroendoscopy – In this type of surgery, endoscopes are used to remove brain tumours.
Deep brain stimulation – In this type of surgery, an electrode is placed inside your brain for transmitting electrical signals
Immediately after a brain surgery is done, doctors will be monitoring you to see if everything is working fine or not. You will generally be seated in a raised posture to avoid swelling of your face.
The period of your stay in the hospital can last up to a week. However, how long you have to stay depends on the type of procedure. You may have to take medications for some time after the surgery.
