Sensations and sati­sfaction of patients unde­rgoing awake craniotomy. Burdenko's Journal of Neurosurgery. 2026;(1):39-48
Abstract:

Awake craniotomy (AC) has gained fantastic popularity over the past years. This approach is no longer the destiny of only highly specialized neurosurgical centers. Technical features of AC are completely developed. However, certain aspects of patients’ sensations and their satisfaction are still unclear. The review is devoted to these issues. It was shown that AC is positively evaluated by the vast majority of patients. Many patients would choose this technique for redo surgery. However, there are certain important details that can adversely affect satisfaction of patients. Thus, these features should be considered in AC.

Keywords:

awake craniotomy
sensations of patients
satisfaction with anesthesia and surgery
