How to do a craniotomy

Have you ever wanted to know how neurosurgeons actually access the brain? Learn about some of the tools that we use and how we actually perform a craniotomy with the Brain Surgeon's Vlog. ----- In this video I'm using a model called the MARTYN which was kindly donated by the Royal College of Surgeons of England. It's pretty life-like. I'll be using a perforator to make the actual hole in the skull (called a burr hole) and then joining those holes using a craniotome (which literally means skull - cut). Underneath the skull is the dura, a leathery covering over the brain. ----- The cool medical illustrations are by Artibiotics and you can see more of them in the acute subdural video here - https://youtu.be/iGpLBPga23Q ----- Subscribe to the Brainbook channel on Youtube: https://goo.gl/tTUKTe ----- Follow us on: Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/realbrainbook Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realbrainbook Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realbrainbook ----- Discover more on our website and join our mailing list: www.realbrainbook.co.uk ----- ✍ Medical illustrators: https://www.artibiotics.com https://www.ladvic.com -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "Lumbar spine surgery - percutaneous fixation" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgZCqFrKasw -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
