Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trephining is a surgical procedure that involves drilling a hole in the skull. This was historically done for a variety of reasons, including relieving pressure from fluids on the brain. It was also sometimes done as a form of ritual or as a means of releasing evil spirits or demons, but this is not a current use of the procedure. Trephining is not used to relieve pressure in the lower back or to facilitate exorcisms.
