How Does The Brain Recover After A Surgery? - Maitri Hospital

1
The word surgery itself is a terrifying one,
and now think of brain surgery! Imagine a
surgery being performed on your brain, one of the
most important parts of your body that which
helps you think, understand, remember, decide,
and react! But yes, there are patients who
actually have this surgery being performed. Just
imagine their frame of mind! While they cant
escape surgery because is the doctor has advised
them, there is no other way out, but the next
cause of concern for them is the recovery. How
soon will the brain recover from the surgery, is
the main question.
To understand the recovery time, first let us
understand the procedure. A traditional brain
surgery is obviously conducted within a hospital,
where the patient is first given general
anesthesia. Then, an incision is made, and a
small section of the bone is removed to access
the treatment site. After the procedure, the
incision is then closed using staples or
sutures, which is then let to heal. First, the
patient is kept within a recovery room where
medical professionals monitor everything from the
heart rate to breathing to any other vital signs
and changes, or any signs of side effects. The
patient may also be shifted to the ICU for a few
days. Once stabilized, he will be shifted to a
regular room for a day, after which he can be
sent home. Patients are given certain rules and
advices to follow for a few weeks after they
return home. There will be activity restrictions
and leave from work for 1-2 months. Obviously
every condition and every patient has his own
individual recovery time, but speaking of
generally, a traditional brain surgery requires
a hospital stay of 3-4 days, followed by at least
a week or two of care and restriction in terms
of activity and work. To get into the
2
details of your individual condition, you may
follow up with your doctor to discuss what you
can expect during your individual recovery. Your
doctor will develop a perfectly customized
schedule and plan for you, and also a monitoring
plan that includes imaging and neurological
tests. To sum it up, we can say that a brain
surgery requires a patient to stay within the
hospital for 3 days, followed by 4-6 weeks or
even more of strict care. Although your case
might be different than what we suggest, learning
in brief about the procedure before you undergo
one can help you be at peace as your treatment
date approaches. If you are advised a brain
