Cranial repair surgery usually does not lead to impaired consciousness, and impaired consciousness after cranial repair surgery is mostly caused by primary craniocerebral diseases.
Cranial repair surgery can repair defects in the skull caused by trauma, surgery, etc., thus reducing pressure on brain tissue, improving cerebrospinal fluid circulation, and to a certain extent, promoting the recovery of coma and other disorders of consciousness. Cranial repair surgery does not usually result in unconsciousness.
When unconsciousness occurs after skull repair surgery, it is usually caused by primary cranio-cerebral diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, etc., and most of them already existed before the surgery. For those who have consciousness disorder, they can follow the doctor’s instructions to promote the recovery of consciousness through hyperbaric oxygen therapy, electrical nerve stimulation therapy and other therapeutic measures.
It is recommended that patients choose regular hospitals for cranial bone repair surgery, and inform the doctor promptly if any discomfort occurs after the surgery.
