In Craniotomy a bone flap is temporarily removed from the skull to access the brain. Craniotomies are often critical operations, performed on patients who are suffering from brain lesions or traumatic brain injury (TBI), and can also allow doctors to surgically implant deep brain stimulators for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and cerebellar tremor.
The procedure is also widely used in neuroscience for extracellular recording, brain imaging, and for neurological manipulations such as electrical stimulation and chemical titration. The procedures are used for accessing brain tissue that must be removed, as well.
Craniotomy is distinguished from craniectomy (in which the skull flap is not immediately replaced, allowing the brain to swell, thus reducing intracranial pressure) and from trepanation, the creation of a burr hole through the cranium in to the dura mater.
2. Surgery usually is the first step in treating most benign and many
malignant tumors. Although a second opinion is not always necessary,
many patients seek one before proceeding with surgery.
Surgery is the initial treatment for most benign and many malignant
tumors. It is often the preferred treatment when a tumor can be removed
without any unnecessary risk of neurological damage
Purpose of this surgery is mainly :
Provide a tumor sample to establish an accurate diagnosis.
Remove as much tumor as possible, either to relieve symptoms
caused by the tumor itself or to reduce the amount of tumor to
be treated with radiation or chemotherapy.
Enable direct access for chemotherapy, radiation implants, or
genetic treatment of malignant tumors.
Relieve seizures (due to a brain tumor) that are hard to control.

3. PROCEDURE
An intravenous (IV) line will be inserted in your arm or hand.
A urinary catheter will be inserted to drain your urine.
A craniotomy generally requires a hospital stay of 3 to 7 days. You may also go to a rehabilitation
unit for several days after your hospital stay. Procedures may vary depending on your condition
and your doctor's practices
Your head will be shaved and the skin over the surgical site will be cleansed with an antiseptic
solution.
The scalp will be pulled up and clipped to control bleeding while providing access to the brain. A
medical drill may be used to make burr holes in the skull. A special saw may be used to carefully
cut the bone.
Excess fluid will be allowed to flow out of the brain, if needed enabling the surgeon a better
view of the brain structures and distinguish between abnormal and healthy tissue
Once the surgery is completed, the surgeon will sew the layers of tissue and skin together
after re-placing the scalp bone.
