Avatar n tn 5 years ago, I had to receive two brain operations, the first being a brain abscess which resulted from a previous mastoid surgery. the second brain surgery was my lower brain had sunken down into my ear area and from that received bacterial meningitis.

Avatar f tn My question is, how much riskier it is for him to have this 2nd re-op in comparison to his 1st and second op? Is the scar tissue/age a big obstacle for a surgeon?

Also, is it important for him to have a CAT scan along with a cath before the surgery?

18562852 tn?1465864643 Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation...I am male and just turned 32. Because of my young age my attending Cardiologist is concerned I may have some form of heart disease. Both my stress test and my cardiac ultrasound results came back good (negative).

Avatar f tn Calif was a highly rated surgeon at a great facility but he turned out to have very little experience with pit surgery specifically, only about 6 per year.

I wonder whether neurosurgery operations are really effective for curing infantile autism and this kind of therapy is mature. Any risks exist in neurosurgery operations? Any successful cases around the world? After the redundant nerves are cut off, is it possible for them to revive after operations? Hope for your replies! Thanks a lot!
Avatar f tn I have a seventeen year old son that has had several operations for shunt replacements in 2009. He was diagnosed with Hydrochapulus and a Cysts in the "Small Brain" area.

Avatar m tn Yes but I don't believe lobotomies are done anywhere anymore. There are brain operations done in cases of extreme ocd that I could describe if needed but they are targeted to stop specific areas of the brain in cases of a person who is harming themselves compulsively and are done with a person's consent. The difference between them and lobotomies is day and night and its not applicable to anyone posting here anyway.
Avatar f tn Cataract surgery is one of the most common operations done on adults, over 4 million/year in USA.

Avatar n tn First, I am not convinced the medications had anything to do with it, becuz he would have been hooked up to oxygen monitor machines postop.

Avatar n tn I have enlarged ovaries with cysts...both ovaries...what can I expect at the surgeon's visit?
Avatar m tn I have one cataract that needs surgery, the other eye could wait. Because my prescription is so strong (-4.25 in the eye that can wait), I've been told I won't be able to wear glasses after the first eye is done, because the two eyes will have images of different sizes that the brain won't be able to fuse. I've worn contacts for years, so I'm not worried about being able to tolerate a contact in the other eye, but I've rarely been able to wear them a full day.
