Meningioma surgery is required to shave hair.
Meningioma is a common intracranial occupying disease, mostly benign, but easy to recur, and its treatment is mainly based on surgical resection, and most of them require craniotomy, and the surgical process should be aseptic throughout the whole process, and it is necessary to prepare the skin of the operation area before the operation, i.e., shave the hair and clean the scalp.
Hair is an accessory organ of the scalp, and if it is not shaved before surgery, it may lead to incomplete sterilization and contamination of the operative area, which will increase the risk of intracranial infection after surgery and seriously affect the prognosis of patients. Therefore, the hair must be shaved before surgery.
In addition, preoperative skin preparation should be completed one day before surgery as far as possible to avoid a long interval and more hair growth, which will affect the surgical process.
