- Brain Decompression Surgery
When the brain, which is located in a closed box made of bone, swells for any reason, that is, when brain edema occurs; If the treatments applied do not give results, the swelling increases and the brain begins to crush and suffocate itself, so to speak.
In diseases where this brain swelling, that is, brain edema, occurs, it is not understood that the drugs given to treat the edema are not effective; It is very important that neurosurgeons intervene immediately, because neurosurgeons can open the lid of the closed bone box. In other words, they can perform surgery to remove the bones in the skull and make room for the swollen brain.
In this way, it is possible to save the patient's life and ensure a better quality of life when he recovers. Of course, as always, if it's not too late. For this reason, if your patient is in intensive care and is said to have brain edema, ask for your patient to be evaluated by a neurosurgeon immediately.

The basic rule in these bleedings is to drain the bleeding from the place where it fills and is to prevent rebleeding. But of course, the damage and risk we create during this process; It should be less than the harm that bleeding causes or may cause to the patient. Since the time the blood collected in the brain stays in the brain is also important; Diagnosis and early surgical treatment of this type of bleeding are also very important. In other words, the timing of the surgery and the choice of what kind of surgery will be performed will be made by the neurosurgeon in the light of this comparison.
