Özet
Awake craniotomy (AC) is a surgical technique where the patient stays conscious and interacts with the surgical team throughout part or all of the brain operation. In this case report, a 71-year-old ASA-3 patient with multiple comorbidities scheduled for a stereotactic brain biopsy was treated using AC. Our experience with AC, combined with a scalp block, is described in this case. AC is a safe technique that can be applied in patients with partially impaired communication abilities and may be particularly beneficial for those with multiple chronic conditions.
