Cranial procedures refer to surgical operations performed on the skull or brain. These procedures can address various conditions, such as brain tumors, head injuries, or aneurysms. Techniques may include craniotomy, where a section of the skull is removed to access the brain, or stereotactic surgery, which uses imaging to guide precise interventions. These surgeries are typically conducted by a neurosurgeon and may involve general anesthesia. Recovery can vary based on the complexity of the procedure and the patient's overall health. Post-operative care is crucial for monitoring complications and ensuring proper healing.
