    Yep, in coma, there will be most likely consequences on his health (they don't know yet), his skull was removed to help reduce pressure, they are planning to bring him back up to consciousness and then they will be able to tell how he is doing. It's supposed to happen this weekend or early next week.

    Wow those doctors are good . What a world we live in , skull can be removed and you still live . Saw something about a chicken with it's head cut off and it still lived . Guess they didn't call him Adonis Chickenson for nothing .

    Hope he recovers ok and they put his skull back .

    I actually don't know the specific details here but usually they crack it to relieve pressure, sometimes a small chunk or strip. Nothing like a quarter of his skull (I mean, that would be shocking).

    Sucks for Adonis. Terrible. But I guess everyone got what they wished for the last decade of him.

    skull removal? I think we've come further than that for swollen brain due to brute force trauma. I know of two incident. One was a kid who got into a fight and was beaten on the head several times with a bat. Another was an older lady ( relative ) who feel and hit her head. The kid that got hit with a bat had severe swelling to skull and pressure to brain. Old lady ended up with bleeding in brain and swollen brain. Both times the dr cut slits into the skull and inserted tubes to relieve pressure on the brain. The tube removes fluid that causes the brain swelling. After the swelling subside they remove tube and staple the skull where cut was made.

    Do you think the swelling will go down or will his head be permanently left swelled and innocent?

    Yes to relieve the pressure as there’s no room in there.

    Patients with brain injury severe enough to warrant craniectomy are usually already in the hospital and are being monitored very closely. Patients are brought to the operating room, where the anesthesia personnel will continue to closely monitor their vital signs. Meanwhile the neurosurgeons will make an incision in the scalp, typically on the side of the head where the most compression is taking place (especially in cases where the compression is caused by a blood clot). Once the skin and underlying tissues have been cut and moved out of the way, a drill is used to make holes in the skull. The holes are connected with a saw and the bone is removed. Typically the bone is stored in a freezer in hopes that, once the patients’ brain swelling has subsided and their condition is more stable, the bone may be put back in place. While the bone is removed, patients are provided with a custom fit helmet that they wear to prevent further brain injury. Once the bone is removed, and any bleeding around the brain has been controlled, the skin and connective tissue overlying the brain are closed with sutures.

    What are the risks?
    The major risks of the operation are bleeding and infection and further damage to the brain. As previously stated, patients who require craniectomy as a life saving measure are usually in very critical condition and have in all likelihood already experienced some amount of brain damage. Nevertheless, the surgical team makes every effort to limit the risks of the operation to the patient by administering antibiotics before beginning, controlling all bleed encountered during the surgery, and limiting the amount of manipulation of the brain.
