A craniotomy for aneurysm repair is a surgical operation used to treat a cerebral aneurysm, which is a weak spot in the wall of a blood artery in the brain that bulges and has the potential to burst, resulting in a life-threatening hemorrhage.
Recovery following craniotomy surgery for aneurysm repair varies according on the size and location of the aneurysm, the length of surgery necessary, and personal characteristics such as general health.
