How Craniotomy and Cysticercosis Lesion Resection ± Decompression is performed
Under general anesthesia and with the aid of a microscope, the lesion is exposed through an individualized craniotomy approach. Important functional areas are identified by combining navigation and monitoring, and resection or decompression is performed as safely as possible to relieve space occupation and edema. Intraoperative and postoperative assessment of hemostasis and cerebrospinal fluid circulation, and completion of specimen submission for testing. Postoperative monitoring of neurological function and intracranial pressure. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
