dude all the people saying omg that would hurt... do you really think they would do a surgery on you AWAKE if it hurt??? the brain does not have pain receptors in it. meaning you don’t feel anything that happens in your brain. jeez
Sir my father has an accident and doctors said their sdh brain surgery and completed the surgery but my father is suffering from fever daily and 29 days of surgery he is on bed and their eyes are open but not any other response pls help me
I'm watching this because I have siezures and in a view weeks I'm getting an MRI to see how big the black dots are on my brain that causes them are and If there big enough I might be having surgery to get them taken away so I can stop having siezures
@@beanboys6856 thank you i did have surgery but they only went away for nine months then they came back there just slowing down now I dont have them alot like I use to
LOL The good news is that your head is in a Mayfield clamp, so even then, you wouldn't move a millimeter. Your skull is quite literally pinned and clamped in place-invasively. You absolutely, positively, CANNOT move your skull. (Thank Christ for anastesia lol)
How amazing to have the healthcare team come and introduce themselves! In the UK with the NHS that hardly ever happened (as rare as hens' teeth almost - unless you were well-known/wealthy) and you get groups of medics standing around you talking about you but not to you, I really hope this has changed! But I'm really surprised to see that even the USA has big wards with just curtains around = no privacy!
This surgery always fascinated me.. The idea of being able to be operated upon the organ, that is responsible for feeling all pain, while being awake... This is really amazing how far medical science has come
@EJSFilms2K me too because I suffered awake paralysis with suffocation in the operating theatre = it was HELL. I wasn't offered epidural, that's how I had my son with c-section, it's great because they lifted him up out of my belly so I could see him over the drapes, I had asked for no drapes because I wanted to watch but they refused, why? Bet in case they messed up and I might sue them! They use paralysing drugs for surgery ('muscle relaxants') way too much and if they don't do it right you can wake up but be paralysed; in my case they also made very serious errors with breathing tube so I couldn't breathe, and after I found out they'd butchered inside my throat (plus clicking cartilage) and damaged my neck - plus got a brain injury from them, how nice, all for an op that wasn't even necessary (appendix out). I think all ops should be filmed and patients have the right to it before they meddle with it!
@EJSFilms2K thank you. If only they believed this happens in THEIR hospital/department then we wouldn't also have the trauma of being lied to and for anaesthetic awareness to be belittled: its effects are lasting. I was never afraid of any of it because I didn't know any risks (they never told, nor chance of brain damage), it's better to know then we all take surgery far more seriously, a last resort. I know docs do amazing things and save lives but that they also sometimes destroy lives is never spoken about and should be: to make mistakes is human, but to cover up & lie is unforgivable. All the best to you.
this makes me sob just thinking about it. i have no pain tolerance. how could this not hurt?!?!?! i wouldn't want to answer questions or look at pictures, i would want to by unconscious and unaware. because atleast then if you were dying you wouldnt know and you wouldnt remember suffering.
if you died you wouldn't feel it to begin with because the brain has no nerve endings, unless they somehow mess up so bad they sever your medulla, but you wouldn't suffer, you'd just die instantly if something got severed, or even if it wasn't instant; you probably wouldn't feel much in terms of pain, maybe just lightheaded from acute hypoxia (if it's caused by a brain bleed), but even then you'd pass out pretty quick, especially if you're sqeamish about blood.
and on top of all that they have to keep you awake to see where certain things are or if you're there because of motor, auditory, or cognitive reasons; to find out where the problem is and gauge the effectiveness of the surgery off of that.
@@nstheboss except headaches? And since I got a brain injury I get terrible BURNING & tickles in my brain, it's terrible: can't do anything about it, no meds help, removing stresses of all kinds really helps though.
Brian's it was bad that they didn't give you med pre op or freeze the area rhere they put frame on I'm afraid thed have to do it under cery heavy sedation or general or not at all I have extreme anxity generally severe depression dome mild cpsd autism and bpd the prened they should hsve given you the pre med most people in the video didng remember the surgery a few years ago I only had an endoscopy the sedative didn't work as it should I don't remember pain but a sensation if being held firm people like me don't like bring held I'm having tummy issues now and are hoping it disent nescitate endoscopy let put it this way I'm more forceful now and any holding me would be a firm no and if someone's holding you there's always a nip that dies wonders
Why is there a speech pathologist? During the operation, either a neurologist or a neurosurgeon should speak with the patient. And let the speech therapist do the exercises. It has nothing to do with surgery, operations and medicine in general.
This is my personal experience, but I hear some awake procedures can be better. What you should expect, is relative. I had a large frontal lobe tumor removed and I was under the impression that awake procedures were painless. While I had an excellent surgeon, all I can remember is the pain. The surgeon told me that they could probably do the surgery under full anesthesia, but I chose the awake procedure to enable maximum safe removal of the tumor without loss of cognitive or motor function. After surgery, I was pretty sore and could not laugh, cough or sneeze without pain. Jaw and temple pain has persisted for several months after surgery as they cut through the temporalis and masseter muscles. The second day after surgery, I was up and walking around. I was discharged on the third day after surgery. Surgical prep was done under light anesthesia. They used a cheap razor blade to dry shave my head (painful), then a large gauge surgical needle to carve the incision line into my scalp (from my forehead down to just below my ear lobe), which sounded like a cheap metal zipper being opened. Just before surgery they used a staple gun to attach the surgical curtain (much like a canine cone of shame) to my head with only a quick heads-up, "staples coming", and at least 10 staples around the circumference of my head...all extremely painful. After prep, they put me back under anesthesia for the incision, but I remember the grinding noise made when they were scraping my scalp from my skull. I do not have any recollection of skull removal. My neck was very sore after surgery as I was in a reclined, but bent over position with not much neck support. During surgery, they brought me out of anesthesia to enable the psychologist to administer cognitive and motor function tests. During this time, I could feel the suction and ultrasonic scalpel causing pain and when the ultrasonic scalpel contacted bone, it was extremely painful. The only thing that got me through this was the kind and compassionate psychologist who allowed me to squeeze the crap out of her fingers while she administered reassuring words. Staple removal was a bit uncomfortable, but removal of sutures was worse. I think that the worst part all of this was the six weeks of radiation treatment and chemotherapy. Overall, results look promising.
I had 4 brain surgeries also in 1995. It did have some effect on my memory. I got an infection in the brain after the surgery and it took me about 5 years to fully recuperate though. How is your Dad after the surgery?
I've had that surgery and I still run into everything on my left side and I've not had anything to drink! Unless you have been through it, don't prejudice others!
I don't feel any calmer about the idea of this surgery after watching the video. It feels like they use calming words to dance around the fact that a huge amount of people die in the middle of this procedure or end up with debilitating brain damage

They’ll do it while your awake wtf that hurts a LOT
StarJam brain surgery you don’t feel the pain. If you think about it the brain is not sending signals it’s receiving them so it doesn’t feel pain
The brain dosent have pain fibers
