No. Many mild injuries heal with rest and monitoring. Surgery is needed only when there is significant bleeding, swelling, or pressure on the brain that must be relieved.
Head injuries should be evaluated as soon as possible. Prompt assessment and treatment greatly reduce the risk of complications and long-term damage.
