Different types of brain tumour surgery
A brain tumour surgery is an effective treatment for people suffering from a brain tumour. The doctor will remove the tumour entirely or may remove it partially near the brain’s sensitive areas.
Depending upon the severity of the disease, the doctor may perform any of the below-mentioned surgeries.
Craniotomy: The doctor will remove a piece of the skull, helping them get access to the brain. Then the tumour will be removed, and the portion of the skull will be put in its original place.
Neuroendoscopy: An endoscope, a narrow tube, will be inserted into the patient’s nose, mouth or through a tiny cut in the skull. The endoscope will give the doctor access to the patient’s brain and enable them to remove the brain tissue. Neuroendoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure.
MRI-Guided Laser Ablation: With the aid of a laser, the brain tumour will be targeted and destroyed.
