Freseoperasjon

Freseoperasjon is a surgical procedure used to remove a portion of a bone, typically to treat conditions such as bone tumors, bone cysts, or to prepare a site for an implant. The procedure is performed using a specialized drill or saw, known as a trephine or osteotome, which is guided by imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, or fluoroscopy to ensure precision. The removed bone can be analyzed for diagnosis or discarded, depending on the specific condition being treated.

The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and may require the use of a tourniquet to control bleeding. The surgeon makes an incision in the skin and muscle to expose the bone, then uses the trephine or osteotome to carefully remove the desired portion of the bone. The wound is then closed with sutures or staples, and the patient is monitored for any complications such as infection or excessive bleeding.

Freseoperasjon is a common procedure in orthopedic surgery and can be performed on various bones in the body, including the skull, spine, and long bones. The recovery time varies depending on the location and size of the bone removed, but patients can usually return to normal activities within a few weeks. Complications are rare but can include infection, nerve damage, or damage to nearby structures. As with any surgical procedure, the risks and benefits should be carefully considered by the patient and their healthcare provider.
