Cranial nerve surgeries involve procedures on the nerves emerging directly from the brain. These surgeries aim to address conditions affecting cranial nerves, which control various functions such as sensation, movement, and autonomic activities in the head and neck. Examples include decompression for trigeminal neuralgia, facial nerve procedures for Bell’s palsy, and interventions for hearing and balance issues. Specific surgeries vary based on the affected cranial nerve and underlying condition, aiming to alleviate symptoms and restore function.
