The high speed drill that is used to cut through the skull bone destroys the bone.  In some surgeries, bone dust is a problem which later can be a culprit in causing headaches.  SUE

This is exacly what I was told by Dr. Smouha.

I was also told that Dr. Post had invented a techiqnue to cope with the bone dust and had reduced the incidence of headaches among his patients.  I get very occasional mild headaches, but I'm not even 100% sure they are related to my surgery. I tend to get them then when I am really tired. So it may have something to do with the surgery, worse balance when I'm tired, added stress etc... without being related to skull dust, but I really don't know.
