Craniotomy Problems

While brain surgery can be life-saving, some patients experience healing complications at different levels—brain tissue, dura (brain covering), skull bone, or scalp. Many brain injuries improve with time and rehabilitation, but in certain cases, restorative surgery is needed.

Reasons for Craniotomy Revision Surgery:

  • Appearance concerns or skull deformity

  • Pain or discomfort at the surgical site

  • Infections or non-healing incisions

  • Functional issues affecting brain or scalp health

Restorative Surgery & Treatment Options

Cranial restoration surgery is a specialized procedure that requires a multidisciplinary approach. A team including a neurosurgeon and plastic surgeon carefully assesses each case.

Common Surgical Solutions:

Cranial Reconstruction: Rebuilding the skull for protection & appearance.

Soft Tissue Repair: Addressing scalp or skin healing issues.

Infection Management: Surgical removal of infected areas if necessary.

The goal is to restore function, improve aesthetics, and reduce pain or complications.
