A member asked:
Supposing i have to have a brain tumor removed, will they have to shave my whole head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: These days most neurosurgeons shave very little; only in the area of the incision, and in some places they clip the hair but don't shave it. Talk this over with your neurosurgeon in advance.
