A convolution of brain surgery ordered without hesitation (5)

I believe the answer is:

gyrus

'a convolution of brain' is the definition.
(part of the brain)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Another definition for gyrus that I've seen is " something on the brain".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
