Dr Jeevan Rajput, who performed the risky operation, said: “The arrow pierced the skull on the right side and exited on the left side through the parenchyma, which is the frontal lobe and in very close proximity to all-important structures. 

We removed the arrow and debris successfully from the brain tissue with an endoscope. Since his post-operative recovery showed good signs, there is hope that he would not have any neurological deficiency or memory or personality problems.”
