Yes, its a craniotomy. They did it to my brother. They first monitor you intracranial pressure (ICP) and if it is too high then they will remove pieces of the skulls to relieve the pressure. Those pieces are then stored in a bone bank until your brain is no longer swollen. That is when they replace the skull. It could take weeks for the swelling to go down depending on the patient. My brother has had his out for 3 and a half weeks now and its no where near ready to go back in.

The liver cannot remove the toxins efficiently, so they accumulate in the legs. I know this because I had a co-worker that was being treated for liver failure (on a transplant list) His legs had been swollen for quite some time. At first he was told to watch his salt and elevate his feet. He was disappointed in his HMO, because he felt that the doctor should have picked up earlier on the liver issues due to the swelling he was experiencing.
