Patients in the clinic and ward often ask “Is your craniotomy a minimally invasive procedure?” . However, patients have a misconception of what minimally invasive surgery is, and often think that a small skin incision is minimally invasive. I think minimally invasive nerve tissue is more important than minimally invasive skin incision because the function of nerve tissue is much more important than skin, so don’t care too much about longer or shorter incision. The key is to make the surgery easier to perform. It is not worth it if the surgery does not go smoothly for the sake of a small skin incision. Of course, the surgeon will also make the wound smaller to ensure a smooth operation.
