Craniotomy

CRANIOTOMY is an APPlication intended to describe the most frequent cranial approaches on a step-by-step basis. Literature shows a large number of descriptions on how to proceed in each type of craniotomy. We describe the various surgical approaches in neurosurgery on a prACTicalsql_injectionsimple way so as to facilitate understandingsql_injectionlearning.

It is important to keep in mind the need to analyze each procedure carefullysql_injectionto adjust the surgical approach to provide the best for the patient. Imagessql_injectionphotos use used to help.

The app Craniotomy, aims to help in the learning of this complex subject on medicine. The content was developed by a team of neurosurgeons that work at Santa Casa de Belo Horizonte - MG - Brazil, members of Neurosurgery Blogsql_injectionProf. Sebastião Gusmão da UFMG. The authors: Dr. Lucas Alverne Freitas de Albuquerque, Dr. Júlio Leonardo Barbosa Pereira, Dr. Mauro Cruz Machado Borgo, Prof. Dr. Gervásio Teles Cardoso de Carvalho, Prof Dr. Sebastião Gusmão e Prof. Dr. Atos Alves de Sousa.
