I don’t do the operations – we leave that to the surgeons, but I am part of a big team that helps the surgeon plan what to take out and what to leave in. Since I started working I have woked with about 1500 people who have had brain surgery. About 60% have got completely better and 30% have got a bit better but they may still have some problems. Unfortuntely the operations dont work for about 10% of people and they stay the same, or sometimes even get worse. It’s not good when that happens.
