In the process, the person lost a lot of blood and could suffer major complications.<br \/>\nIn addition, it was very stigmatizing for the patient because of the huge scar on the head, whereas now there is only a small scar that can be hidden under the hair.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>In which cases is Keyhole type surgery used?<\/h2>\n<p>This type of procedure is used for all types of complex neurosurgical pathologies. For example, with the Keyhole technique, it is possible to operate a brain aneurysm in approximately 1 hour or an hour and a half, in addition to drastically reducing mortality.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the chances of recurrence (that the pathology returns) decrease considerably.<\/p>\n<p>Another advantage is that it avoids further complications and shortens the postoperative period, achieving a faster recovery and restoring the patient&#8217;s quality of life.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1531977384221{padding-left: 20px
