Types of Craniotomy
The specific craniotomy type depends on location and purpose, including pterional craniotomy for aneurysms near the base of the brain, and various keyhole or minimally invasive approaches when the lesion allows a smaller opening. Emergency decompressive craniotomy removes a larger section of skull temporarily to relieve dangerous pressure after severe trauma or stroke.
