1. The modern neurosurgeon spends more time studying the proper methods for operating on the human brain than ever before. It may seem like a neurosurgeon’s main focus was always on brain surgery, yet in the past the neurosurgeon was far more likely to devote his or her time to studying the way that the mid works, not how to operate on the mind. Currently, neurosciences are devoted to advancing the methods by which successful operations can be carried out. It is not that in the past the field of neurosurgery was not interested in brain surgery, but rather that the prospect was just too dangerous to explore in the past. Thanks to the amazing advancements of modern medical equipment there are now a huge number of brain surgeries that can be done with very low risk for the patient. In the past the scalpel was the most common tool used in surgery, whereas today the scalpel is rarely used, thanks to the invention of laser operating machines that make cuts so small they are almost invisible to the human eye. There are also some surgeries that use tiny wires to enter the body without cutting, and which travel through areas of the brain where there is a low risk for damage. Brain surgery has become so safe compared to how it was I the past that pain clinics such as, have started to explore the area of surgical operations on the brain as a way to eliminate some forms of sciatica pain. Thanks to the tremendous amount of time and research done on brain operations, modern man is able to rely on countless brain operations which would not have been possible in the past.
  2. Brain surgery is also much safe today because of the fact that the attention given to patients after an operation is far superior to that of the past. The majority of problems that occur for a patient undergoing surgery actually happen after the operation is complete. During the surgical procedure a doctor and his team are able to monitor and control what is happening in the patient’s body, to a certain extent however, after the patient has been moved to the recovery area, many underlying problems can start to arise. Luckily, today’s medical teams that are in charge of taking care of patients after they finish a surgery have gotten the task down to a new art form. Nurses are skilled in monitoring all of a patient’s changes, and knowing beforehand when there is a problem on the way. The medication given during the recovery time is also much better suited for fighting off infections and making sure the patient is able move back into health without developing secondary health issues.
  3. Lastly, brain surgery is far safer today because early diagnosis of brain health issues has made it possible for medical doctors to intervene earlier during the patient’s health crisis. There are many diagnostic tools being used today which can determine a problem in the brain long befre any symptoms are even noticed.
