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.
