| craniotomy |
A craniotomy is a medical term describing the surgery that is performed through an opening in the skull. Craniotomies are brain surgery. Craniotomies may be performed to treat or remove cancer, to correct a brain disorder, or to repair injuries. Because this is very specialized surgery with many risks, craniotomy mortality rates may be high even at hospitals that rely on highly experienced neurosurgical teams. Top
