How is skull surgery performed?

Skull surgery is a specialized medical procedure performed in cases where access to the brain is necessary to treat various neurological conditions. It may be necessary in situations such as brain tumors, aneurysms, severe traumatic injuries, congenital malformations or other conditions that require surgical intervention.

Clínica Bíblica has highly trained and experienced surgeons who use advanced technologies to perform skull surgery procedures in a safe and effective manner.

Dr. Francisco Gutierrez, specialist in Neurosurgery at Clínica Bíblica, comments on how this surgery is performed. Before any procedure, a thorough evaluation is performed to determine the need for surgery and to carefully plan each step of the process that the patient requires, he says.

Within Clínica Bíblica's operating rooms, state-of-the-art technology is used, such as computer-assisted brain navigation and real-time neurological monitoring, to ensure precision and safety during surgery for both the medical team and the patient.

The surgery is minimally invasive, where a small incision is made in the skull to remove the lesion in order to avoid sequelae or complications. We invite you to watch the following video to learn more about this technique..
