Summary
- A 33-year-old man survived complex emergency brain surgery.
- A screwdriver was lodged in his skull, piercing a motor control region.

A life-saving emergency brain surgery was performed on a 33-year-old man whose skull was penetrated by a screwdriver during an assault. The neurosurgical team navigated the delicate procedure, successfully removing the foreign object and accompanying bone fragments without causing further injury.
The screwdriver had entered the right side of his brain, perilously close to a key motor control region and major blood vessels. Following the two-hour operation, the patient was placed on ventilator support for two days to manage brain swelling and ensure stability.
Despite initial weakness on his left side, the patient's recovery has been remarkable. Through dedicated physiotherapy and neuro-rehabilitation, he has regained full independence, highlighting the success of the complex surgical intervention.
