Brain surgery, also called neurosurgery, is a complex medical procedure that involves diagnosing and treating disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It is performed to remove tumors, stop bleeding, repair damage, or relieve pressure inside the skull.

• Indications: Brain tumors, aneurysms, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, hemorrhage, and nerve compression disorders.
• Procedure: The surgeon performs a craniotomy (creating an opening in the skull) to access the brain. Advanced imaging, navigation, and microscopic tools are used for precise treatment.
• Anesthesia: Usually performed under general anesthesia. In certain cases, “awake brain surgery” is performed for critical functional areas.
• Advantages: Helps remove brain tumors, relieve intracranial pressure, restore neurological functions, and treat life-threatening conditions.
• Recovery & Care: Hospital stay ranges from 5–10 days. Recovery includes rest, physiotherapy, cognitive exercises, and regular neurological checkups.
• Precautions: Avoid strenuous activities, maintain hygiene of the incision area, follow prescribed medications, and attend regular doctor consultations.
