Craniotomy in Borlam, Kamareddy, Telangana

What is Craniotomy?

Surgical opening of the skull to access the brain for treatment of tumors, bleeds, or other conditions

Why Craniotomy Is Needed

Performed to access the brain surgically for a range of conditions including brain tumors, hemorrhages, traumatic brain injury with blood clots needing evacuation, aneurysms, and abscesses, whenever direct surgical access to remove or repair a problem inside the skull is needed. It's a means of access used across many types of neurosurgery rather than a treatment for one single condition.

Signs You May Need Craniotomy

Symptoms depend heavily on the underlying reason for craniotomy, but often include headaches, seizures, weakness or numbness on one side of the body, vision or speech changes, confusion, or loss of consciousness in cases of significant bleeding or trauma. Sudden severe symptoms, especially after a head injury or with a severe new headache, warrant emergency evaluation.

Types of Craniotomy

A standard open craniotomy removes a section of skull bone to access the brain, which is later replaced and secured, while a minimally invasive keyhole craniotomy uses a smaller opening for select, more localized procedures. An awake craniotomy, where the patient is kept conscious during part of the surgery, is used for tumors near critical speech or movement areas to allow real-time monitoring of brain function.
