can a small brain surgery be done in 1 2 hours, give an example of such a surgery
Dear aspirant hope you are doing well..
It could take up to 3-5 hours if you are having a regular craniotomy. If you have an awake craniotomy, the surgery could take 5-7 hours. This includes pre op, peri op and post op. The number one post-op concern for patients undergoing brain surgery is neurologic function.
On average, brain surgery long-term survival rate can be between 50-70% except in cases of malignant tumors where chances are lowered. In cases of brain operation performed for non-tumor related brain damage, the chances of survival are significantly enhanced.
Hope it's helpful
Thank you..
