After craneoctmy on left temporal side.what kind of care should be taken?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Avoid trauma: The skull will be weaker on the side of surgery. Just be careful and avoid trauma to this area. If you ride a bike, motorcycle, ski, or engage in other activities that might cause you to hit your head wear a helmet!
