Overview

Surgical options are limited for confusion because it all depends on the cause of confusion. Some conditions, such as a subdural hematoma that can be drained, are surgically evacuated. In such cases, a consultation with a neurosurgeon may be needed. In cases of traffic accidents, a person may be bleeding severely due to fractures and visceral injury. In such cases, an orthopedic surgeon would most likely be needed.
