Brain Surgery
Information
(from Medline Plus Encyclopedia for more information see
www.WebMD.com)
Alternative names...Craniotomy; Surgery - brain; Neurosurgery
Definition...Brain surgery treats lesions of the brain and its surrounding structures through an opening (craniotomy) in the skull (cranium).
Description...The hair on part of the scalp is shaved. The scalp is cleansed and prepared for surgery. An incision is made through the scalp and a hole is drilled through the skull. A piece of the skull is removed (usually temporarily) and the surgery is performed, after which the bone is replaced and secured in place.
Indications...Brain surgery may be needed to treat the following: (1) brain tumors (2) bleeding (hemorrhage) or blood clots (hematomas) from injuries (subdural hematoma or epidural hematomas) (3) weaknesses in blood vessels (cerebral aneurysms) (4) arteriovenous malformations (AVM; abnormal blood vessels) (5) damage to tissues covering the brain (dura) (6) pockets of infection in the brain (brain abscesses) (7) severe nerve or facial pain (such as trigeminal neuralgia or tic douloureux) (8) trauma to the skull and repair of skull fractures
Risks include the
following...
Risks for any anesthesia (1) reactions to
medications (2) problems breathing
Risks for any surgery (1) bleeding (2)
infection
Additional risks of brain surgery (1) injury to brain
tissue (2) injury to blood vessels (3) nerve or muscle
paralysis
or
weakness
(4) loss of mental functions (memory, speech, understanding)
Expectations after surgery...The results depend greatly on the underlying disease being treated, the general health of the patient, the extent of the procedure and the surgical techniques employed.
Convalescence...The recovery time varies from 1 to 4 weeks. Full recovery may take up to 8 weeks.
Back Surgery & Neck Surgery
(For more information see
www.WebMD.com)
The primary purpose of back surgery or neck surgery is to
correct an anatomical lesion for individuals who fail to show improvement with
conservative (non-surgical) treatments. Back surgery is useful only to change a
patient’s anatomy (such as to remove a disc herniation), and there is almost
never any reason to do exploratory back surgery to "look” for a cause of pain.
Either an orthopedic surgeon or a neurosurgeon may perform back surgery or neck surgery. In recent years, the field of spine surgery has become increasingly specialized. Many orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons now complete additional spine medicine training after their residency training (such as spine fellowship training). Because of increased specialization and more demanding surgical techniques, many neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons are choosing to focus more of their medical practice on spine surgery, and a growing number now consider themselves “spine surgeons”.
Advancements in spine surgery
It is thought that the increasing level of specialization and focus on spine
surgery has contributed to enhancements in surgical technique, which in turn has
led to overall improved success rates and reduced morbidity (e.g. reduced
post-operative discomfort) with many types of back surgery and neck surgery.
In addition to enhanced surgical technique, there have been major advancements in spinal instrumentation/implants and devices over the past couple of decades. The single most significant advancement in spine surgery has been improved preoperative imaging techniques. Specifically, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scan) has revolutionized spine surgery and is the single best test to determine if a patient’s pain is from an anatomical lesion.
Reasons for back surgery or neck surgery
Spine surgery is typically an “elective” undertaking, meaning that it is
considered as a possible approach to enhance a patient’s ability to function and
decrease pain. Elective surgery can be medically necessary and is usually
covered by insurance. It just means that spine surgery is usually the patient’s
choice and is rarely an absolute necessity.
Only in rare instances (such as for patients who have a progressive neurological loss of function or sudden onset of bowel or bladder incontinence) is spinal surgery actually necessary on an emergency basis.
Most forms of spine surgery can basically accomplish three tasks:
- Decompress a nerve root (in the lumbar or cervical spine)
- Stabilize an unstable or painful joint with fusion surgery (lumbar or cervical spine)
- Reduce a deformity (such as scoliosis surgery in the thoracic spine)
Back surgery and neck surgery are not done on an exploratory basis, as the cause of a patient’s pain will not be readily apparent with surgically opening and looking at the spine. When no anatomical lesion can be pre-operatively identified that can account for a patient’s pain, back surgery is not an option and other non-surgical treatment options should be pursued.
One of the most important factors in the success of back surgery or neck surgery—and this cannot be overemphasized—is an accurate preoperative diagnosis. Without the right diagnosis before surgery, even the most technically successful surgery will not be a clinical success and the patient will not find the pain relief and/or ability to function.
