Craniotomy Surgery is a procedure to remove a lesion in the
brain through an opening in the skull (cranium). A Craniotomy is a type
of Surgery done to open part of the skull, or cranium. This procedure is
needed when a person has a condition or injury that affects the brain, its
tissues, or its blood vessels. Craniotomy Surgery in India is performed
under Experienced Surgeons at Lilavati. The surgeons and physicians at

Many people from overseas have faith in treatment in India as the quality
of treatment provided in India is excellent.
A Craniotomy is a surgical operation in which part of the skull,
called as a bone flap, is removed in order to achieve access to the brain.
Craniotomies are often a critical procedure performed on patients
suffering from brain lesions or traumatic brain injury (TBI). Craniotomy
is also utilized by physicians to surgically implant deep brain stimulators
for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and cerebellar tremor.
The hair on part of the scalp is shaved. The scalp is cleansed and
prepared for Surgery using a solution to execute germs on the skin
surface. An incision is made through the scalp and a hole is drilled
through the skull. A piece of the bone may be temporarily removed and
the Surgery is performed, after which the bone is reinstated and secured
in place using sutures.
Craniotomy is usually performed under general anesthesia but
can be also done with the patient awake using a local anaesthetic; the
procedure generally does not involve significant discomfort for the
patient. The amount of skull that needs to be removed depends to a
large extent on the type of Surgery being performed. Most small holes
can heal with no difficulty. When larger parts of the skull must be
removed, surgeons will usually try to retain the bone flap and replace it
immediately after Surgery. It is held in place momentarily with metal
plates and rather quickly reintegrates with the intact part of the skull, at
which point the metal plates are removed. Large or complex
craniotomies are often called skull base Surgery. These craniotomies
involve the removal of a portion of the skull that supports the bottom of
the brain where delicate cranial nerves, arteries, and veins exit the skull.
Reconstruction of the skull base is often necessary and may require the

Surgeons often use sophisticated computers to plan these craniotomies
and locate the lesion. Skull base craniotomies can be used to:
 Remove or treat large brain tumors, aneurysms, or AVMs
 Treat the brain following a skull fracture or injury
 Remove tumors that invade the bony skull
Craniotomy Surgery will be preceded by an MRI scan which
provides a picture of the brain that the surgeon uses to plan the precise
location for bone removal and the appropriate angle of access to the
relevant brain areas. There are many kinds of craniotomies. Ask your
neurosurgeon to describe where the skin incision will be made and the
amount of bone removal. There are two methods commonly utilized by
surgeons to open the skull. Either an incision is made at the nape of the
neck around the bone at the back or a curving incision is made in front of
the ear that arches above the eye. The incision penetrates as far as the
thin membrane covering the skull bone. During skin incision the surgeon
must seal off many small blood vessels because the scalp has a rich
blood supply. The scalp tissue is then folded back to expose the bone.
Using a high-speed drill, the surgeon drills a pattern of holes through the
cranium and uses a fine wire saw to connect the holes until a segment of
bone can be removed.
