Sequelae of Kailu surgery

The brain is the most important control organ in the human body, which directly determines the human body's behavioral activities. However, if there is a tumor problem in the brain, the best way is to completely remove the cause through craniotomy. However, craniotomy is really a very large operation, which requires the surgeon to have extremely skilled techniques to reduce harm to the human body. There are many things that need to be paid attention to after craniotomy, otherwise it will leave many sequelae.

1. Generally speaking, after this type of intracranial surgical resection, the patient is likely to experience the following sequelae. Some blood vessels and nerves may be damaged during the operation, which may affect the patient's language function. Therefore, during the entire operation, the doctor must be extremely careful and must not damage the patient's language center.

2. Because the tumor is relatively large, measuring 13×17 cm. Therefore, during the entire tumor removal surgery, the patient's optic nerve is likely to be affected. It depends on where the tumor grows. If it is in the brain stem area, the patient basically has no chance of having surgery.

3. In most cases of brain tumor resection surgery, the patient may experience sequelae such as hemiplegia and muscle weakness after the operation. Because human motor nerves are distributed very widely, if the motor nerves are accidentally cut, the patient will lose the ability to move after the operation.

Note: For diseases like brain tumors, it is important to decide whether to undergo surgery as soon as possible in the early stages. Otherwise, the larger the tumor grows, the higher the risk during the operation. This type of surgery is very demanding on the doctor's skills and mentality, and the surgery must be handled carefully and cautiously.

How long does it take to wake up after craniotomy?

How long it takes for a patient to wake up after craniotomy depends on two aspects:

1. Condition: the patient's physical condition, the specific location and extent of brain injury.

2. Anesthetic effects, dosage of anesthetics and the patient's cardiopulmonary tolerance.

If the condition is not serious and the operation is successful, the patient will generally wake up about 1-2 hours after anesthesia. If the patient has a large area of ​​brain lesions or lesions in the brainstem, it is difficult to judge.
