Brain Tumor Removal Surgery

Brain tumor removal surgery involves the excision of abnormal growths in the brain. The primary goal of the procedure is to eliminate the tumor while preserving surrounding healthy brain tissue and minimizing neurological damage.

Types of Brain Tumor Removal Surgery

1. Craniotomy
  • The most common approach, involving the temporary removal of part of the skull to access and remove the tumor.
2. Endoscopic Brain Surgery
  • Minimally invasive surgery using an endoscope inserted through a small incision or natural opening like the nose.
3. Stereotactic Surgery
  • Uses imaging guidance (MRI or CT scans) to target and remove tumors with extreme precision.
4. Awake Brain Surgery
  • Performed while the patient is conscious to monitor brain function in real-time, ensuring vital areas remain unharmed.
5. Laser Ablation Surgery
  • Utilizes laser energy to destroy tumor cells, often for hard-to-reach or small tumors.
6. Gamma Knife Surgery (Non-Invasive)
  • A type of radiosurgery that uses focused radiation beams to shrink or destroy tumors without open surgery.

Who Needs Brain Tumor Removal Surgery?

This surgery is required for patients diagnosed with:

  • Green Arrow Icon Benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) brain tumors.
  • Symptoms caused by tumor pressure, such as headaches, seizures, or vision problems.
  • Green Arrow Icon Tumors pressing on critical brain regions affecting movement, speech, or cognitive functions.
  • Green Arrow Icon Tumors growing in size despite non-surgical treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.

Investigations Required

Before the surgery, the following diagnostic tests are conducted:

  • Green Arrow Icon MRI or CT Scans: To determine tumor size, location, and type.
  • Angiography: To evaluate blood flow to and from the tumor.
  • Green Arrow Icon Biopsy: Sometimes required to determine whether the tumor is benign or malignant.
  • Green Arrow Icon Electroencephalogram (EEG): For patients experiencing seizures.
  • Green Arrow Icon Neurological Evaluation: To assess brain and nerve function.

Line of Treatment

    1. Pre-Surgery Preparation
  • Administration of general anesthesia or, for awake surgeries, sedation as needed.
  • Placement of the patient's head in a fixed position for stability.
    • 2. Surgical Procedure
  • Craniotomy: The surgeon removes a portion of the skull to access the brain. The tumor is excised using microsurgical techniques, ensuring minimal impact on surrounding tissue. The surgeon makes an incision in the scalp and removes a portion of the skull (bone flap).
  • Endoscopic or Minimally Invasive Surgery: A small incision or natural opening is used to access and remove the tumor.
  • Post-Tumor Removal: The skull is sealed with the bone flap or a custom implant, and sutures are applied to close the incision.
    • 3. Post-Surgery Care
  • Patients are moved to the ICU for monitoring and stabilization.

Hospital Stay

Patients typically stay in the hospital for 5 to 10 days following surgery, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the recovery progress.

Success Rate

The success rate of brain tumor removal surgery varies based on factors such as the tumor type, location, and patient health. Success rates are generally high, ranging from 70% to 90%, especially for benign tumors or early-stage malignancies.

Risks Associated with Brain Tumor Removal Surgery

While craniotomy surgery is generally safe, potential risks include:

  • Green Arrow Icon Infections: At the surgical site or within the brain.
  • Bleeding or Hemorrhage: During or after surgery.
  • Neurological Complications: Temporary or permanent changes in brain function.
  • Seizures: A possible outcome post-surgery.
  • Brain Swelling: Leading to increased intracranial pressure.
  • Green Arrow Icon CSF Leak: Leakage of cerebrospinal fluid.
  • Green Arrow Icon Adverse Effects of Anesthesia: Rare but possible.

Post-Operative Care

  • Green Arrow Icon Monitoring: Close follow-up with a neurosurgeon to monitor recovery and detect any complications.
  • Pain Management: Prescribed medications to manage headaches or discomfort.
  • Wound Care: Ensure the incision site is clean and dry; follow instructions for dressing changes.
  • Rehabilitation: Physical, occupational, or speech therapy may be required to regain full function.
  • Diet and Rest: A balanced diet and plenty of rest are crucial for recovery.
  • Green Arrow Icon Restrictions: Avoid heavy lifting, driving, or strenuous activities until cleared by the doctor.
  • Green Arrow Icon Signs to Report: Severe headaches, nausea, fever, or unusual swelling must be reported immediately.
