  • What is minimally invasive brain surgery?
    Minimally invasive techniques use smaller incisions and specialized tools (often with endoscopes or imaging guidance) to reduce recovery time and surgical impact.

    ​

    How long is recovery after cranial surgery?
    Recovery time varies depending on the procedure, but many patients spend a few days in the hospital and several weeks recovering at home.

    ​

    Do all brain conditions require surgery?
    No. Many conditions can be managed with medication, monitoring, or non-surgical treatments. Surgery is recommended only when necessary.
