Decompression Surgery For ICH Pune
Sancheti Hospital performs decompression surgery for intracranial hemorrhage to relieve pressure, prevent complications, and support neurological recovery.
What is Decompression for ICH?
Decompressive craniectomy surgery is a life-saving neurosurgical procedure performed to manage raised intracranial pressure (ICP) caused by conditions like intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), traumatic brain injury, or massive stroke. In this surgery, a portion of the skull is temporarily removed to allow the swollen brain to expand safely without being compressed against the skull. By providing this space, the procedure aims to reduce pressure, prevent further brain tissue damage, and stabilize the patient’s condition. Once the swelling reduces, a cranioplasty (skull reconstruction) may be performed later.
Benefits of Decompressive Craniectomy Surgery
- Immediate reduction in raised intracranial pressure.
- Prevention of further brain injury due to compression.
- Increased chances of survival in life-threatening hemorrhage or head trauma cases.
- Stabilization of neurological function with potential for recovery.
- A bridge surgery that supports recovery till further treatment can proceed.
Limitations and Disadvantages
While decompressing the brain can be crucial, certain risks and challenges are involved:
- Risk of infection, bleeding, or seizures after surgery.
- Patients may have long-term neurological deficits despite surgery.
- Cosmetic concerns until cranioplasty is performed.
- Requires critical care monitoring post-surgery.
- Not every patient shows significant functional recovery even after the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is decompressive craniectomy surgery?
It is a surgical procedure where part of the skull is removed to relieve brain swelling and reduce dangerous intracranial pressure.
When is decompressive craniectomy needed?
It is usually required in cases of intracerebral hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, or severe stroke, where brain swelling cannot be controlled by medicines.
What is the decompressive craniectomy surgery cost in India?
The cost depends on the complexity of the case, duration of ICU stay, and rehabilitation needs. Sancheti provides transparent cost breakdowns for patients and families.
How long does recovery take after decompressive craniectomy?
Recovery varies widely. Some patients improve within weeks, while others may require months of rehabilitation depending on the extent of the initial damage.
Will I need another surgery after decompressive craniectomy?
Yes, once brain swelling subsides, a cranioplasty (skull reconstruction) is typically performed to restore skull integrity and appearance.
Can decompressive craniectomy completely cure neurological deficits?
Not always. The surgery is mainly life-saving and pressure-relieving. Rehabilitation and therapies play a critical role in regaining neurological functions.
Is physiotherapy required after surgery?
Yes, physiotherapy and rehabilitation are essential to restore mobility, coordination, and cognitive function. Sancheti’s specialized rehab team supports patients throughout the process.
Why should I choose Sancheti Hospital in Pune?
