SIDE EFFECTS :

1. Pain and Discomfort: After the surgery, it is common to experience pain and discomfort at the site of the incision and around the surgical area. This can be managed with pain medications prescribed by your healthcare provider.

2. Swelling and Bruising: Swelling and bruising around the surgical site are common side effects of burr hole surgery. Applying ice packs and keeping the head elevated can help reduce swelling. The bruising typically resolves on its own over time.

3. Infection: Although efforts are made to minimize the risk of infection, there is still a possibility of developing an infection at the surgical site. Signs of infection may include increased pain, redness, swelling, warmth, or drainage from the incision site. If you experience these symptoms, it's important to contact your healthcare provider for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
