    Cranial Surgery Procedure

    The specific procedure varies depending on the condition. Generally, cranial surgery involves making an incision in the scalp, removing a portion of the skull (craniotomy, if needed), addressing the underlying problem, and closing the incision. Doctors administer general or local anaesthesia for the patient’s comfort.
