How long is the risk period for aneurysm craniotomy?

In life, some people inevitably get sick for various reasons, and brain diseases are usually more serious and require surgery. Craniotomy is high-risk and has a long risk period. So, how long is the risk period for aneurysm craniotomy?

Aneurysm surgery generally refers to brain aneurysm surgery. Brain aneurysm is the most common cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Surgery is the first choice. Generally speaking, the risk period of aneurysm craniotomy is 1 to 2 weeks. But you may need to consult a doctor to know the specifics.

The biggest risk of aneurysm craniotomy is the re-rupture and bleeding of the aneurysm. This is because during the aneurysm craniotomy and clipping process, it is easy to stimulate the surrounding nerves and blood vessels, and even directly stimulate the aneurysm. If the operation is not careful, even a 1mm aneurysm may rupture and bleed again.

Brain aneurysm surgery is a craniotomy, a major neurosurgery operation. Whether before or after the operation, the preparation for the operation is very thorough, especially the postoperative care, including the prevention of lower limb thrombosis, more activities in bed, prevention of lower limb thrombosis, prevention of non-acute pulmonary embolism, enhanced nutrition, increased protein and calorie intake, and smooth urination.

The main thing is to enhance nutrition, ensure the healing of the incision, and avoid infection. Without nutrition, there is no resistance, so increasing nutrition is a very necessary issue.

If the operation is successful and there are no complications, the patient can survive for a long time and achieve full clinical recovery. Most aneurysms are benign and do not spread like malignant tumors, so no additional lymph node cleaning is required, so its surgical effect is very obvious.

Generally speaking, the risk period for aneurysm craniotomy is 1-2 weeks. Of course, this also depends on the patient's treatment and recovery, and cannot be generalized.
