A member asked:
When they remove a brain cyst, how many days will someone spend in the hospital? how long is recovery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: on the location and size of the cyst. If easily accessible you may only spend 2-3 days in hospital. You should speak with your neurosurgeon who can discuss the expectations of surgery and recovery at length.
