How to Use Trepanation in Brain Surgery
Trepanation is a surgical procedure that involves the drilling of a hole into the skull. It is generally only used in the most extreme of medical emergencies, such as a subdural or epidural hematoma. Some, however, also believe it can be used as a non-essential surgery to treat such things as depression or migraines.
Things You'll Need:
Computer with Internet access
Licensed medical doctor
Tips & Warnings
Trepanation can be an expensive procedure and is rarely covered by health insurance.
Trepanation should only be performed by, and at the advice of, a licensed medical doctor. Self-trepanation is very popular in some circles, but it is also extremely dangerous.
Trepanation carries with it a high risk of infection and brain damage, both during and after the surgery.
If you develop an infection or suffer a head injury, see a doctor immediately.
