Brain cyst treatment with open cyst drainage surgery

Brain cyst drainage can be an effective solution for many patients. During the procedure, the neurosurgeon opens the skull to access the cyst. Then he opens the cyst to relieve pressure, allowing the brain to absorb the contents naturally. This procedure takes place using the method of neuronavigation. The neurosurgeon has the opportunity to get the instrument into the desired area with the utmost accuracy. At the same time, a 3D image of the operative field is displayed on the monitor, which increases the effectiveness of the doctor's actions. The operation begins with temporarily removing part of the skull bone so surgeons can access the brain. During the surgery, the doctor makes tiny incisions in the cyst. Such "windows" allow fluid to drain from the cyst. As a result, the body absorbs liquid over time. At the end of the operation, the surgeon will carefully check for the absence of bleeding and return the cranial bone to its place. After the skull bone area is fixed, the doctor will align the edges of the incision on the skin, suture them and cover the operated area with a bandage. As a rule, the operation takes 30-60 minutes and might require up to two weeks to fully recover.
