Supraorbital Craniotomy info?

Just wondering if anyone on here had this type of surgery *Supraorbital Craniotomy*? I was told today that I am a very good candidate for this surgery, because of the size and location of my tumour. Any information on it would be greatly appreciated...like how long was your surgery? How long was your hospital stay? Were you up and around fairly early? How has your post-surgery been?
Thank you (((HUGS))) Susan

I guess it is Russ - nobody has any info on it here :/

Yes, it is a cut straight across the eyebrow...it is a less invasive way to remove tumours.
I have my final MRI Monday Oct.26, then visit with my neurosurgeon on Monday Nov.2nd, I will be given my surgery date then. I am hoping I get booked in November, so that I can have Christmas with family. :)

Thank you for responding, Susan

**here is a website that explains and shows a video on Supraorbital Craniotomy....don't watch if you have a weak stomach...a lil graphic, but not bad :)
