When is Brain Tumor Surgery Needed ?

Surgery is recommended for brain tumors that :-

✔️ Are causing neurological symptoms (headache, seizures, vision/memory issues)
✔️ Are growing aggressively or affecting vital brain functions
✔️ Can be safely removed or reduced to improve quality of life
✔️ Need a biopsy for accurate diagnosis

Types of Brain Tumor Surgery

🔹 Craniotomy – Traditional open surgery to remove large or deep-seated tumors
🔹 Minimally Invasive Neuroendoscopy – Uses a small camera and instruments for tumor removal with fewer complications
🔹 Stereotactic Biopsy – A targeted procedure to diagnose tumors with a needle biopsy
🔹 Awake Brain Surgery – Performed while the patient is awake to protect critical brain functions like speech and movement
🔹 Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery – A minimally invasive approach for tumors near the base of the skull

Advanced Technology for Brain Tumor Surgery

🚀 Neuro-navigation – Real-time GPS for precise tumor removal
🚀 Intraoperative MRI/CT – Ensures complete tumor resection
🚀 Fluorescence-Guided Surgery (5-ALA) – Highlights tumor cells for better removal
🚀 Awake Surgery Monitoring – Protects important brain functions

Recovery After Brain Tumor Surgery

⏳ Hospital Stay – Usually 3-7 days, depending on the procedure
💪 Rehabilitation – Physical therapy, speech therapy, and neuro-rehabilitation may be needed
🔄 Follow-Up – Regular checkups with MRI/CT scans to monitor recovery
