Brain surgery, also known as neurosurgery, is a complex procedure performed to treat various conditions affecting the brain, such as tumors, epilepsy, or traumatic injuries. The goal of brain surgery is to remove or repair damaged areas of the brain while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. The procedure typically involves the use of advanced imaging techniques, such as MRI or CT scans, to guide the surgeon accurately. Techniques may vary depending on the condition being treated, including craniotomy (removing a portion of the skull to access the brain) or endoscopic surgery (using a small camera and instruments through tiny incisions). Brain surgery carries risks, including infection, bleeding, and neurological deficits, but advances in technology and surgical techniques have significantly improved outcomes and recovery times.
