Brain Tumor Surgery

A minimally invasive technique for treating brain tumors is endoscopic brain surgery. The doctors avoid making any incisions on the patient’s face or skull by performing the endoscopic excision of brain tumors through the patient’s nose or tiny invasive holes.

Brain Tumor Surgery

Doctors can access parts of the brain that are challenging to reach using traditional surgery techniques thanks to endoscopic brain surgery. In order to identify the type of tumor and remove it using surgery or medicine, the doctors conduct a biopsy test prior to the procedure.

What Kinds of Brain Tumors Can Endoscopic Brain Surgery Treat?
Pineal tumor: The pineal gland, situated in the center of the head, is where it forms. It may also extend to the spinal cord if treatment is not received.
An aberrant proliferation of cells in the pituitary gland is known as a pituitary tumor. It does not spread to other parts of the body because it is not malignant.
The persistent accumulation of fluid in the pituitary gland, known as a Rathke’s cleft cyst, might result in headaches, visual impairment, or hormonal imbalance.
Tumor based on the skull: A tumor based on the skull is an aberrant growth of the brain cells at the base of the skull. Although not all tumors based on the skull are cancerous, they can cause significant harm if they are not treated.
Ventricular tumor: Usually benign, ventricular tumors are found in the brain’s ventricles. The tumor puts pressure on the skull and stops the passage of cerebrospinal fluid.

What are the advantages of endoscopic brain surgery or treatment?
minimally invasive procedure, which causes less discomfort.
quicker recuperation after the operation.
shorter hospital stays.
