(Props: ATTMain)
When we first came across this clip, we immediately got bad flashbacks to Miguel Torres‘s reconstructive forehead surgery video, expecting basically the same thing but with exposed brain. Don’t worry, you’re not going to see the actual procedure here. It’s just Thiago Alves heading to the hospital on Wednesday, clearly a little nervous, and waking up later completely lucid and with no obvious signs that his skull was removed while the doctors fixed whatever was wrong with him. Actually, this Sherdog report informs us that the procedure was done to mend a malformation in the left hemisphere of his brain, and they basically went in through his groin. [Ed. note: *barfs*] Said ATT coach Ricardo Liborio: "He is really excited to get back to training and I think it is going to be hard to keep him from trying to get back too fast."

Thing that I have deduced from this entire situation is this.
Thiago essentially had an Aneurysm ( un-ruptured obviously )- So they used a superfine platinum wire to fill this bulge in the blood vessel up...and that pretty much takes care of it permanently...
They have to go in through the femoral artery to perform the Coil Embolization. It is not going through his cock or balls...
He is lucky indeed... as you do not have to get hit in the head to rupture an aneurysm and or have it cause any major trouble... He could of been the first MMA death in the ring though... and now he has a tiny tiny little ball of platinum in his brain.
