What is brain surgery?
Brain surgery is any procedure that addresses abnormalities in your brain. The brain is part of your central nervous system. It controls your ability to speak, move, think and remember. Brain surgery aims to treat problems without disrupting these important functions.
During brain surgery, a surgeon might remove some of your brain or an abnormal growth in your brain, like a tumor. Surgeons can also repair parts of your brain that have damage, such as leaky blood vessels.
Sometimes brain surgery requires an incision (cut) in your brain. But there are also many procedures that can access your brain through your nose, mouth or even a tiny cut in your leg. Minimally invasive brain surgery poses fewer risks than open brain surgery and helps you heal faster.
