Why is brain surgery performed?

Neurological Surgery Is Performed To Treat Health Issues In This Area That May Occur Due To Congenital Abnormalities, Certain Diseases, Or Injuries.

Cerebral Hemorrhage

Cerebral Hemorrhage, Or Brain Hemorrhage, Is Bleeding That Occurs Between The Brain Tissue And The Skull Or Inside The Brain Tissue. Cerebral Hemorrhage Is A Serious Medical Condition That Threatens Life And Requires Immediate Medical Attention. Brain Bleeding Can Limit The Flow Of Oxygen To The Brain, Leading To Symptoms Such As Headaches, Nausea, Vomiting, Numbness In The Limbs, Or Facial Paralysis. Doctors Examine Two Main Areas Affected In The Brain When Determining The Type Of Brain Hemorrhage (Bleeding Inside The Skull And Outside The Brain Tissue, Bleeding Inside The Brain Tissue).

Cerebral Aneurysm

A Cerebral Aneurysm Occurs In A Blood Vessel In The Brain And Is Not Related To Aneurysms Elsewhere In The Body. A Cerebral Aneurysm May Appear As A Small Sac Filled With Blood Connected To The Blood Vessel By A Stem. This Condition Is Known As A Saccular Or Berry Aneurysm. Symptoms Of A Ruptured Cerebral Aneurysm Include Severe Headache, Neck Pain And Stiffness, Increased Drowsiness, Paralysis, Seizures, Slurred Speech, And Visual Problems, While An Unruptured Cerebral Aneurysm May Not Present Any Symptoms.

Abnormal Blood Vessels (Vascular Malformation)

Vascular Malformation Is An Abnormal Tangle Of Blood Vessels That Leads To Irregular Connections Between Arteries And Veins In A Part Of The Brain Or On The Brain's Surface. Normally, Arteries Carry Oxygen-Rich Blood Away From The Heart To The Body's Cells, Organs, And Tissues; Veins Return Blood With Less Oxygen To The Lungs. In Vascular Malformation, A Short-Cut Path Forms For Blood To Flow Directly From The Arteries To The Veins, Bypassing The Tissues, Leading To Tissue Damage And Death.

Skull Fracture

A Skull Fracture Is An Injury To The Bones Of The Skull. The Severity Of The Condition Varies Depending On The Extent Of The Fracture. Mild Fractures May Cause Few Problems And Heal Over Time, While Severe Fractures Can Lead To Serious Complications, Including Bleeding, Brain Damage, Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks, Infection, And Seizures. There Are Four Types Of Skull Fractures (Linear Skull Fracture, Depressed Skull Fracture, Basilar Skull Fracture, And Penetrating Skull Fracture).

Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's Disease Is A Disorder That Occurs In The Brain, Causing Uncontrolled Or Involuntary Movements, Such As Tremors, Stiffness, And Difficulty With Balance And Coordination. These Symptoms Usually Start Mildly And Worsen As The Disease Progresses. Parkinson's Patients May Experience Difficulty Walking, Speaking, And May Have Mental And Behavioral Changes, Sleep Problems, Depression, Memory Issues, And Fatigue.

Nerve Damage Or Irritation

Nerve Damage Is A Medical Condition That Affects The Nerves In The Brain, Spinal Cord, And Limbs, Or May Involve The Autonomic Nerves. In All These Cases, Nerve Damage Leads To A Wide Range Of Symptoms, Including (Inability To Feel Chest Pain, Excessive Sweating, Dizziness, Dry Eyes, Dry Mouth, Constipation, Bladder Dysfunction, Sexual Dysfunction, General Weakness, Muscle Atrophy, Tingling Sensation, Paralysis).

Epilepsy

Epilepsy Is A Chronic, Non-Contagious Disease That Affects The Brain. Epilepsy Is Characterized By Recurrent Seizures, Which Are Short Episodes Of Involuntary Movement That May Involve A Part Of The Body (Partial) Or The Entire Body (Generalized), Often Accompanied By Loss Of Consciousness And Loss Of Control Over Bowel Or Bladder Function.

Blood Clots In The Brain

A Blood Clot In The Brain Occurs When A Blood Vessel In The Brain Begins To Narrow, Preventing Sufficient Blood Flow To Other Parts Of The Body. This Can Cause Pain, Seizures, And Headaches. In Some Cases, A Blood Clot In The Brain Can Lead To Permanent Disability Or Even Death.

Brain Tumors

A Brain Tumor Is The Growth Of Cells In Or Near The Brain. There Are Several Different Types Of Primary Brain Tumors. Some Brain Tumors Are Non-Cancerous, Known As Benign Brain Tumors. Benign Brain Tumors May Grow Over Time And Put Pressure On Brain Tissue. Other Brain Tumors Are Brain Cancers, Also Known As Malignant Brain Tumors. Brain Cancers Can Grow Quickly. Cancer Cells Can Invade And Destroy Brain Tissue.

Fluid Accumulation In The Brain

It Is A Condition Where A Clear, Organic Fluid Surrounding The Brain And Spinal Cord (Excess Cerebrospinal Fluid) Accumulates Inside A Cavity Or Ventricles In The Brain. Fluid Accumulation In The Brain Can Lead To Harmful Pressure On The Brain Tissue Confined Within The Skull. Typically, Cerebrospinal Fluid Accumulation In The Brain Occurs Due To Increased Fluid Production, A Decreased Absorption Rate, Or A Condition That Prevents Its Normal Flow Through The Ventricular System.

Stroke

A Stroke Is The Interruption Of Blood Flow To Any Part Of The Brain, Also Known As A Brain Attack. If Blood Flow Stops For A Prolonged Period, And The Brain Is Unable To Receive Blood And Oxygen, Brain Cells May Die, And The Functions Controlled By That Part Of The Brain May Be Lost. Symptoms Of A Stroke Include Sudden Numbness Or Weakness In The Face, Arm, Or Leg, Especially On One Side Of The Body, Sudden Difficulty Speaking Or Understanding Speech, Sudden Difficulty Seeing In One Or Both Eyes, Sudden Difficulty Walking, Dizziness, Loss Of Balance And Coordination, And A Sudden Severe Headache With No Known Cause.

Upon Completing The Surgery, The Bone Flap Is Typically Secured In Place Using Plates, Sutures, Or Wires. The Hole May Be Left Open If There Are Tumors, Infections, Or Swelling In The Brain. When Left Open, The Procedure Is Known As A Craniectomy.

Risks Of Brain Surgery

All Surgeries Carry Some Risks. Brain Surgery Is A Major Medical Event And Carries Additional Risks.

Potential Risks Associated With Brain Surgery Include:

  • Allergic Reaction To Anesthesia
  • Brain Bleeding
  • Blood Clot
  • Brain Swelling
  • Coma
  • Weakness In Speech, Vision, Coordination, Or Balance
  • Infection In The Brain Or At The Surgical Site
  • Ticketing Issues
  • Seizures
  • Stroke

Preparing For Brain Surgery

The Specialist Doctor Overseeing The Patient's Treatment Will Provide All Instructions Regarding How To Prepare For The Surgery.

It Is Essential For The Patient To Inform The Treating Doctor About Any Medications They Are Taking, Including Supplements And Over-The-Counter Drugs. The Patient May Need To Stop Taking These Medications In The Days Leading Up To The Surgery. The Patient Should Also Inform The Treating Doctor About Any Previous Surgeries, Any Allergies To Specific Materials Or Medications, Or If The Patient Smokes Or Drinks Alcohol. The Patient May Be Given Special Soap To Wash Their Hair Before The Surgery.

Post-Operative Care After Brain Surgery

Immediately After The Surgery, The Patient Will Be Closely Monitored To Ensure Everything Is Functioning Properly. The Patient Will Be Positioned In An Elevated Position To Prevent Swelling In The Face And Brain.

Recovery From Brain Surgery Depends On The Type Of Procedure Performed, And The Typical Hospital Stay For Brain Surgery Can Last Up To A Week Or Longer. The Length Of The Patient’s Hospital Stay Will Depend On How Well The Body Responds To The Surgery, And The Patient Will Be Given Painkillers During This Time.

Before The Patient Leaves The Hospital, The Treating Doctor Will Explain The Steps To Follow After The Surgery. This Will Include How To Care For The Surgical Incision If Present.
