Cranial Surgery of Nohola

The famed surgeons of Nohola have begun to make great strides in the field of cranial surgery. Many doctors have been afraid to work with brains over the years. They have found that even if one is able to successfully open up the skull of a patient, diagnose the issue afflicting them, and resolve the issue, the recovery of the patients is not something easily done. Reattaching the bone removed has proven very difficult and there have been nearly no recorded cases of success. With all of these issues present for cranial operation, most doctors around the world have tried to turn to magic and potions to relieve symptoms of cranial diseases and injuries, but they are like mere bandages on a gushing wound.

In Nohola, the healers have claimed that they have found ways to improve the recovery of their patients that undergo brain procedures done on the skull. They have found that the precious metal of gold can be used as a replacement for the bone removed during the surgery. In all of the cases they have performed this procedure, the body does not reject the inserted metal. This may be due to the fact that gold does not seem to have the same issues of rust and decay that other metals have. It is also said that some patients have been able to live out full lives and die of old age years after the procedure. The bodies of such individuals have been studied by the doctors after the patient has passed and evidence has been found that the body accepted the metal as an appropriate substitute for the removed bone and signs of bone growth were found on the metal.

These claims have not been verified by any of the major medical schools around Eraterna. Some doubt the effectiveness of the procedures while some don't believe any such surgeries have even taken place. If found true, though, it could mean that injuries sustained to the head could be truly helped and affected people's lives could be saved.
