Craniotomy is a Serious Surgical Operation to the Brain that Comes with Severe Risks. It May Occur after a Traumatic Brain Injury in a Motor Vehicle Accident and Needs Medical Attention Immediately.
Craniotomy is a surgical operation that opens the cranium and then a bone flap is temporarily removed from the skull to access the brain. Craniotomies are performed on patients suffering from brain lesions or traumatic brain injuries (TBI). A severe blow to the head in a motor vehicle accident may cause a hemorrhage or hematoma in the brain, which calls for immediate surgery to stop the bleeding.
This is common in motorcycle accidents. For instance, if a motorcyclist gets side-railed by a vehicle attempting to change lanes, it could cause the biker to lose control of his bike and hit the pavement. Motorcyclists wear very little protection and in severe cases, even a helmet is not enough. If the biker sustains severe injuries to the head, he may need to undergo craniotomy.
With any type of surgery, there are risks. However, because the brain is such a delicate organ, even the slightest amount of surgery on any one area may cause problems with speech, memory, muscle weakness, balance, vision, coordination, or other functions.
