How long does brain hemorrhage surgery take?
Disease description:
My father had a brain hemorrhage, and the doctor recommended surgery. He's been in the operating room for an hour already, but there's still no update. I'd like to ask, how long does a brain hemorrhage surgery usually take?

The duration of surgery for cerebral hemorrhage depends on the patient's specific condition. If it is a hematoma evacuation procedure, the operation time is relatively short, usually taking about 30 to 60 minutes. However, if craniotomy is required for hematoma removal, the procedure generally takes longer, approximately 4 to 5 hours. Additionally, unexpected situations during surgery, such as significant bleeding, may further prolong the operation time.
