Sub-pituitary hernia surgery of the cerebellum is more risky.
Subpial hernia surgery mainly involves the posterior cranial fossa, dura mater, base of the skull, and the foramen magnum of the occipital bone, etc. In case of injury to the dural venous sinus, there may be a risk of hemorrhage. If the blood vessels in the brain are injured during the surgery, the blood supply to the brain stem may be affected, leading to the occurrence of cerebral infarction, and once respiratory arrest occurs, there is also a risk of death. Therefore, the risk of cerebellar hypopituitary hernia surgery is relatively high.
In addition to this, there are also risks of cerebrospinal fluid leakage, intracranial hemorrhage, and intracranial infections after subpial hernia surgery.
If you need to have a subpial hernia surgery, it is recommended to choose a regular hospital as well as a surgeon who is experienced in surgery to minimize the risks of the surgery as much as possible. After the surgery, you should strictly follow the doctor’s instructions for nursing care, take medication at regular intervals, and give timely feedback to the doctor when you find any abnormality, so that effective treatment measures can be taken as soon as possible to reduce the possibility of postoperative complications.
