-
Emergency intervention to save life and preserve brain function.Multidisciplinary approach involving neurologists, neurosurgeons, and critical care teams.Aims to stop active bleeding and reduce damaging pressure on the brain.Can prevent secondary complications like brain herniation and permanent disability.Utilizes advanced imaging (CT, MRI) for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
Who is this surgery for?
- Sudden, severe headache (often described as "the worst headache of my life").
- Neurological deficits such as sudden weakness, numbness, or paralysis, typically on one side of the body.
- Difficulty speaking, understanding speech, or confusion.

- Seizures with no prior history.
- Diagnosis via CT scan confirming bleeding within the skull.
How to prepare
- Emergency Preparation: Immediate transport to a hospital emergency department, ideally a stroke center.
- Medical Stabilization: Rapid assessment of airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs).
- Diagnostic Imaging: Urgent non-contrast CT scan of the head to confirm hemorrhage and locate the bleed.
- Medical History: Quick review of patient's medications (especially blood thinners), allergies, and past medical history.
- Informed Consent: For any surgical procedure, risks and benefits are urgently discussed with the patient or family.
Risks & possible complications
- Brain damage leading to permanent neurological deficits (paralysis, speech problems, cognitive impairment).
- Increased intracranial pressure causing brain herniation, which can be fatal.
- Re-bleeding or expansion of the initial hemorrhage.
- Hydrocephalus (build-up of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain).
- Seizures.
- Infections, such as meningitis or surgical site infections if surgery is performed.
- Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism).
- Complications from prolonged hospitalization (pneumonia, bedsores).
Recovery & hospital stay
- Hospital Stay (ICU/Neuro-ICU): Close monitoring of neurological status, blood pressure, and vital signs.
- Rehabilitation: Early involvement of physical, occupational, and speech therapists to regain function.
- Medication Management: Strict control of blood pressure, medications to prevent seizures, and management of swelling.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Counseling on risk factor management (hypertension control, smoking cessation).
- Long-term Follow-up: Regular neurological check-ups and imaging to monitor recovery and prevent recurrence.

Had my gallbladder out last week....
Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
