My uncle has a blood clot on his brain he is 68 yrs old what Canberra done for him
If surgery to remove the clot is out of the question, the patient will have to wait for his/her brain to heal on its own.
craniotomy is the most commonly performed surgery for brain tumor removal. It may also be done to remove a blood clot and control hemorrhage, inspect the brain, perform a biopsy
is it possible to remove a blood clot through a eye socket
There is no time limit for such surgery. It could be 3 - 8 hours (generally no more than 8 hours.) It depends where the blood clot is and how difficult it is to contain.
Every neurosurgical procedure is different. The overall health of the patient and the general skill level of the surgeon with that sort of procedure are factors. More important, however, is the exact location of the clot and the nature of any complications to the surgery such as nearby blood vessels and portions of the brain. It is not possible to give a meaningful answer in numbers.
There could be a lot of different reasons why a person would need brain surgery. It takes a special set of surgeons to complete the job. People with tumors, cancer, aneurysms, or a blood clot.
I like to know, My friend he has a blood clot in his brain for 7 years. Now has alot of headache and some fever. If he do a surgery the percentage for survival ( how high) please let me know. Thanks
In standard medical practice, trepanation is occasionally performed by a neurosurgeon in order to relieve pressure on the brain caused by trauma, or to remove a blood clot from brain tissue.
A craniotomy is a surgical procedure performed to access and remove brain tumors, relieve pressure on the brain caused by swelling or bleeding, repair blood vessel abnormalities in the brain, or extract foreign objects. It involves creating a bone flap in the skull to access the brain and is often performed under general anesthesia.
