Brain Tumor Excision is the primary surgical treatment for various intracranial tumors, including meningiomas, gliomas, astrocytomas, and metastatic brain cancers. As a tumor grows inside the confined space of the skull, it increases intracranial pressure and crushes healthy brain tissue, leading to seizures, vision loss, paralysis, and life-threatening complications. Indian neurosurgery centers are globally renowned for employing cutting-edge tools like functional MRI (fMRI), computer-assisted Neuro-Navigation (which acts like GPS for the brain), and intraoperative ultrasound. This allows surgeons to map the exact boundaries of the tumor and remove it with extreme precision without damaging the surrounding healthy brain networks controlling speech and movement.
Procedure Details
Under general anesthesia, the scalp is incised and a specialized high-speed drill is used to temporarily remove a small section of the skull bone (craniotomy) to expose the brain. Guided by a high-definition surgical microscope and neuro-navigation screens, the neurosurgeon meticulously dissects the tumor. An ultrasonic aspirator may be used to gently vibrate and suction away the tumor tissue. Once the tumor is maximally and safely resected, the dura mater (brain covering) is stitched watertight, the bone flap is secured back into place with micro-titanium plates, and the scalp is closed.
