I fear brain surgery/inside the skull surgery deeply, is there any way to overcome this?

Be informed: No one relishes having brain surgery because there are certainly risks. You need to get information from your neurosurgeon to find out about the rationale, risks and benefits. These will differ depending on the nature of the underlying problem. A better understanding in particular of the potential benefits is particularly helpful in helping to calm your fears about brain surgery.
