| Craniotomy Mortality — TABLE BACK to List of Indicators D R A F T |
| Craniotomy
(surgical opening of the skull) for repair of aneurysms (ballooning or bursting
of blood vessels) is a demanding operation that is almost always associated
with high risk of disability or death. Nevertheless, it may be the only
option available when a blood vessel ruptures deep in the brain. The mortality
rate for this operation may be high even in the hands of an extremely experienced
neurosurgeon and neurosurgical team, who are likely receiving the more difficult
cases by referral. The adjustments used in this report to equalize 'risk'
may not fully reflect the many types of risk associated with this complex
surgery, which often is performed on an emergency basis. |
