How risky is a surgery for the brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brain surgery: Like any surgery, brain surgery has risks that can be significant. It also depends on the type of surgery and its extent (e.g., removal of a tumor vs. A biopsy). You have to talk with the surgeon to get all the risks explained to you properly.
