What is trepanning?
Tepanning refers to a specialized form of surgery including drilling or scratching a hole into the skull. The aim of trepanning is to reveal the hard and inflexible dura mater or Pachymemeninx, which is the farthest layer of meninging surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
Trepanning took place for hundreds of years around the world for various reasons. There is even evidence in the form of cave images that trepanation occurred as a medicine for migraines, epileptic seizures and mental disorders. Hippocrates also provided instructions for the procedure during the Greek age. Tepanning remained common practice in the 19th century and recently began a comeback for both mystical and health reasons. A small piece of bone is then removed to reduce the pressure from the brain. Over time, the bone grows, but the new bone is Shallower than the rest of the skull. Since the bones are growing after trepanning, scientists are able to determine whether the patient simply survived this surgery by exploring the skull. Some holes in the skulls discovered by scientists were equally sizeAs an average of two inches and scientists, approximately 2/3 of those who have undergone the procedure have survived.
tools commonly used in trepanning included a sharp knife that was used to cut the skull skin and allowed to pull the flaps and a drill similar to a corkscrew. Surgeons also used brushes and files to clean up the final area around the hole. It took hours for the surgeon to complete the procedure with these tools. Today, those who are trying to bring back trepanning will instead use an electric drill for the procedure. This allows you to complete the trepanation in less than one hour.
Modern daily trepanation is rarely performed by doctors. However, the International Group for Trepanation (ITAG) insists that trepanning should be much more common practice. This attitude is largely based on the fact that the skulls of human child have what is called a soft place. Trepanning supporters believe that the procedure is returningThe skull into this natural state. As a result, supporters believe that physical energy is obtained, mental illness can be cured, and many health health problems can be alleviated.
