A craniotomy is performed to gain access to the brain for surgery by removing a portion of the skull. After the surgery, the bone that was removed from the skull is usually replaced using sutures or metal plates. An example of a situation where a surgeon may choose to perform a craniotomy is for removal of a brain tumor.
Craniotomy is indicated in the following cases:
A patient can be advised to undergo a craniotomy to accomplish any of the following purposes:
You will get a local anesthetic, then the surgeon will carefully cut the skin of your scalp and gently separate it into layers, thereby protecting the dura, which covers the brain. The team cleans the edges of surrounding bone and prepares the surface so the bone or implant can be positioned properly in the defect, after which it is secured to the cranial bones with screws, plates or both.
With the bone or implant in place, bleeding is controlled, the team moves the scalp back to its original position and closes the incision with nylon suture.
Surgery recovery can take anything from 4 to 8 weeks. After surgery, your wounds (incisions) may be uncomfortable for up to 5 days. Your scalp may swell as a result of the moisture. Numbness and shooting sensations may also occur near the area. Follow your doctor's orders for bathing and incision care. Take your prescription medication as directed. You can expect to be out of work for at least 6 weeks.
The death rate following scheduled craniotomy surgery is almost Zero.
Patients undergoing planned surgery for brain tumor removal spent an average of 5-6 days in the hospital, with 96 percent being allowed to go home after their stay and only 4% being admitted to a rehabilitation facility.
We at IndiCure completely understand your concerns and it is always our endeavor to provide the best outcome for every patient. Following is the list of questions you must ask before you embark on your journey for cranioplasty/craniotomy surgery in India.
Prepare to answer questions about your:
It's possible that the surgery will take 4 to 6 hours. Patients are transferred to the recovery room after the procedure, where the medical team examines the activities of important organs. The doctor may prescribe steroid drugs (to decrease edema) and anticonvulsant medications, depending on the surgery's requirements (for preventing seizures).
In most cases, a hospital stay of three days to one week is required. This varies depending on the sort of surgery used to treat the problem.
The length of the recovery period and process is determined by the type of craniotomy performed and the purpose for the procedure. Patients' recovery times vary, and they may have difficulties walking, talking, balancing, or maintaining strength for a period of time after surgery. Depending on your situation and needs, the doctor will prescribe drugs and rehabilitation therapy.
Long-term restrictions are largely determined by the medical problem being addressed with surgery. Craniotomy does not usually result in any long-term consequences.
A craniotomy is used to treat a variety of brain diseases, including as removing a brain tumor, removing a blood clot (hematoma), repairing cerebral aneurysms, repairing arteriovenous malformations, alleviating pressure inside the skull, or performing a biopsy.
A cranioplasty is a type of brain surgery that corrects a malformation or defect in the skull. People who have suffered a serious injury to the head or who have had brain surgery in the past frequently need this (craniotomy or craniectomy). A prosthesis or other synthetic surgical device is used by the doctor.

I recently traveled to Mumbai for a lower body lift and breast lift. As an American nurse living in Saudi Arabia I was apprehensive at first and did months of research. I chose IndiCure because of Dr. Jagannathan. I traveled alone and spent almost 3 weeks there undergoing 2 separate procedures. I was pleasantly surprised. The surgeries both went flawless. All of the hospital staff was amazing. Read Michelle Williams's Review About IndiCure Here
