A craniotomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a part of the skull to access the brain. It is typically performed to treat various brain conditions such as tumors, blood clots, or to relieve pressure in the brain. The opening created during the craniotomy allows the surgeon to access the brain and perform necessary treatments or surgeries.
It is called craniotomy when it is removed to allow access to the brain and is replaced when the procedure is done. When the skull flap is not immediately replaced, it is called craniectomy. For more information visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craniotomy.
