Dr. Kenneth Liu answered

Specializes in Neurosurgery

Depends.: It really depends on what part of your brain the operation is performed and for what condition. Assuming everything goes well, it is normal to experience headaches, problems thinking clearly sometimes, and memory issues after an intracranial procedure. These typically improve with time. Speak to your neurosurgeon for more information.
