Awake
craniotomy has an edge over general anaesthesia
Awake craniotomy is performed for resection of epileptogenic
foci and other lesions (tumors and arteriovenous
malformation), which are close to eloquent (important),
ie motor and speech areas of the brain. Basic principle
in keeping the patient awake during surgery is to
prevent damage during surgery, to functionally important
areas of the brain by performing cortical mapping,
which requires patient to be awake to test his speech
and to watch his movements.
