What is the Recovery Period Like for Undergoing Brain Surgery?
There are many conditions that can be treated with brain surgery, such as tumours and vascular malformations.
There are various types of brain surgery, with the treatment depending on the condition and the affected area of the brain. Progress in surgical technology has made it possible for surgeons to operate on non-invasively on segments of the brain.
Brain surgery is a serious and complex process. The kind of brain surgery done depends greatly on the condition that is being treated. For instance, a Brain Aneurysm can be cured using a catheter that’s led into an artery through one’s groin. If the Aneurysm has ruptured, an open surgery called Craniotomy may be performed.
Your recovery depends on various factors, including:
- The type of brain injury
- Complications related to the injury
- Severity of the injury
- Age and general health, including other medical conditions
- Side effects or complications of post-operative treatments, such as radiotherapy
- The presence or absence of neurological problems
No matter what form of brain tumour you have been diagnosed with, it is very important that you stick to any follow-up schedule your doctor makes and stay on top of your health. Many forms of brain tumours have the potential to reappear, so your doctor will advise a monitoring plan based on your individual needs.
