I’ve read a study in which is explained how trepanation in Kenya is common. It is done with water as disinfectant, a blade which might be sharpened during the procedure with a rock, no anesthetic, no sutures. They use leaves which have coagulation properties and an ointment with butter. In most western countries craniotomy is complex and considered a serious surgery even with the right equipment.
I’ve read that the survival rate is about 93-94%. There was a guy who had 30 of trepanations done.
Where is the blood loss? Hypovolemic shock? Trauma shock? Infection? How do they not cause permanent brain damage?

in my opinion: natural herbs can be really good disinfectants. those people has strong immune system as they are already the survivor ones. (many infants die after birth ). and those who had it can stay traumatised.
