At Life Kingsbury Hospital, craniotomy is performed using modern neurosurgical techniques and evidence-based practices. Life Kingsbury Hospital, founded in 1918, is located in Cape Town, South Africa, and has 212 beds and both domestic and international patients.

Craniotomy is a surgical process through which a section of the skull is temporarily removed to obtain access to the brain. Craniotomy is useful in managing conditions such as brain tumours, vascular malformations, bleeding, and other neurological disorders. The neurosurgical team assesses the diagnostic imaging, past medical history, and neurologic status of each patient to decide on the best surgical technique.
