From Wikipedia
A craniotomy is a type of brain surgery where surgeons temporarily remove a portion of the skull to access the brain. Surgeons often perform them to treat serious conditions like brain tumors, hemorrhages, and to remove foreign bodies such as bullets. A craniotomy is different from a craniectomy and from trepanation, the creation of a burr hole through the cranium into the dura mater.
