Craniotomy

Femur Tibia Osteotomy Surgery Pune

Sancheti Hospital specialises in femur and tibia osteotomy to realign bones, relieve pain, and restore natural limb movement effectively.

What is Craniotomy Surgery?

A craniotomy surgery is a neurosurgical procedure in which a portion of the skull is temporarily removed to access the brain. This procedure allows surgeons to treat various brain conditions such as tumors, aneurysms, blood clots, infections, or traumatic injuries. After the procedure, the skull bone is carefully replaced and secured.

There are several types of craniotomy, including awake craniotomy surgery, where patients remain conscious during the procedure to monitor brain function and minimize the risk of neurological deficits. This is particularly useful for surgeries near critical areas controlling speech, movement, or vision.

Craniotomy may be performed for both emergency and planned interventions, depending on the patient’s condition. The procedure is highly precise, requiring advanced imaging, navigation systems, and experienced neurosurgeons to ensure safety and efficacy.

Benefits of Craniotomy Surgery

  • Allows direct access to the brain for treatment of tumors, aneurysms, or traumatic injuries
  • Helps relieve pressure caused by bleeding or swelling in the brain
  • Minimizes long-term neurological deficits when performed with precision
  • Awake craniotomy allows real-time monitoring of vital brain functions
  • Improves quality of life and neurological outcomes for patients

Limitations and Disadvantages

Like all surgeries, craniotomy carries risks such as infection, bleeding, seizures, or neurological deficits:

  • Recovery can be prolonged and requires close monitoring
  • Not all patients are candidates for awake craniotomy
  • The cost of craniotomy surgery may vary depending on complexity, hospital stay, and implants used
