Whether it is brain surgery, back surgery or cervical disc herniation surgery;
the most common problem that can occur to a patient who is operated on by a neurosurgeon is the problem or "complication" as it is medically called; It is a condition called "cerebrospinal fluid leak", "CSF
leak", "CSF leak", "cerebrospinal fluid leak" or medically known as "cerebrospinal fluid fistula", "CSF fistula". This means that clear colored water begins to flow through the patient's
stitches and this flow
continues to increase. The flowing water is actually cerebrospinal fluid, CSF
fluid.
The patient's surgeon, of course, knows the dangers and what to do in case of this adverse event and does what is necessary. He gives the patient stronger
antibiotics, stitches the wound again, inserts a thin tube, that is, a catheter, into the patient's waist to drain the cerebrospinal
fluid, that is, CSF, or takes the patient into surgery again; But rest assured, he will do the right thing.
