Brain Tumor Surgery

What is Brain Tumor Surgery?

The goal of brain tumor surgery is to remove growths (tumors) that are not normal from the brain. As long as the growth is not cancerous, the procedure can be used to treat it. Surgery is often the first step in treatment, especially when the growth is easy to get to and is making the person sick.

The goal of brain tumor surgery is to:

• To keep things safe, take out as much of the growth as you can.
• Remove the load off your brain.
• Confirm the findings with a biopsy
• Make your conditions better and your life better.

When is Brain Tumor Surgery Needed?

Your doctor may recommend brain tumor surgery if:

• The tumor is causing symptoms like headaches, seizures, vision changes or weakness
• It's possible to get rid of all or part of the growth.
• To be sure of the type of growth, a biopsy is needed.
• Other treatments like radiation or chemotherapy need surgical support

Types of Brain Tumor Surgery

1. Craniotomy:
   • Most common method; involves temporarily removing part of the skull to access the tumor.
   • After surgery, the skull bone is replaced and closed.
2. Minimally Invasive Surgery:
   • For small or deep-seated tumors using endoscopy or stereotactic techniques.
   • Smaller incision and faster recovery.
3. Awake Brain Surgery:
   • Done when the tumor is near areas controlling speech or movement.
   • Patient remains awake for part of the surgery to monitor brain function in real time.

Recovery After Surgery

• Hospital stay may last 3–10 days depending on the procedure.
• Recovery may include physical therapy, speech therapy or neuro-rehabilitation.
• Some patients may require further treatment like radiation or chemotherapy.
• Regular follow-up imaging is done to monitor brain health and tumor recurrence.

Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery

What is Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery?

Neurosurgeons can treat brain problems with smaller cuts, better images and special tools with minimally invasive brain surgery a new type of surgery. This method is meant to protect the brain from damage speed up recovery and lower the risk of complications compared to traditional brain surgery that needs a large hole in the skull.

It is a safe and successful choice for many patients and neurosurgeons with special training use cutting edge technology to do it.

Conditions Treated with Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery

This technique can be used to treat:

• Brain tumors (benign and malignant)
• Pituitary tumors
• Brain cysts
• Hydrocephalus (fluid buildup in the brain)
• Trigeminal neuralgia
• Brain hemorrhage or AVM (arteriovenous malformation)

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery

• Cuts that are smaller and often hidden in natural folds
• Less pain and scarring
• Better healing and less time in the hospital
• Less chance of getting infections and other problems
• Precise targeting of the problem area using real-time imaging

Common Techniques Used

1. Endoscopic Brain Surgery:
   A thin tube with a camera (endoscope) is inserted through a small opening to access the brain.
2. Keyhole Craniotomy:
   A small, focused opening is made in the skull to reach the tumor or abnormality.
3. Transnasal Surgery (Through the Nose):
   Commonly used for pituitary tumors. No external cuts are made — the surgeon reaches the brain through the nasal passage.
4. Stereotactic Navigation:
   A GPS-like system guides the surgeon with real-time, 3D images of the brain.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Surgery

What is Deep Brain Stimulation?

Deep Brain Stimulation, or DBS, is a new type of neurosurgery that is used to treat some neurological movement problems. A small device, similar to a pacemaker, is implanted and gives mild electrical signals to certain parts of the brain. This helps control the abnormal signals that cause tremors, stiffness, and other symptoms.

There is no damage to brain tissue during DBS, and it can be undone. This makes it a safe and effective treatment choice when medications no longer work.

Conditions Treated with DBS

DBS is most commonly used to treat:

• Parkinson’s Disease
• Essential Tremor
• Dystonia
• Epilepsy
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (in select cases)

How DBS Works

• Thin wires called electrodes are surgically placed in targeted areas of the brain.
• These wires are connected to a small battery-operated device (neurostimulator) implanted under the skin near the chest or abdomen.
• The device sends continuous electrical impulses that help regulate brain activity, improving symptoms.

Benefits of Deep Brain Stimulation

• Reduces tremors, stiffness, and slowness
• Improves movement and quality of life
• Allows for lower medication doses, reducing side effects
• Reversible and adjustable — settings can be fine-tuned over time
• Long-term improvement in symptoms in many patients

What to Expect

• DBS is done in two stages: electrode placement in the brain, followed by neurostimulator implantation.
• The patient may be awake during part of the brain surgery to help map the brain accurately.
• Most patients return home in a few days and begin seeing results within weeks.
• Follow-up programming and adjustments are made to fine-tune the device settings.

Why Choose Us for DBS Surgery?

• Experienced neurologists and functional neurosurgeons
• Advanced operating theatres with intraoperative brain mapping

What is Pediatric Brain Tumor Surgery?

Taking out tumors in a child's brain or spinal cord is done through a delicate and life-saving process called pediatric brain tumor surgery. Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in kids, and if they are found early and treated by experts, the results are much better.

Surgery is often the first step in treatment. The goal is to safely remove as much of the tumor as possible, ease the patient's symptoms, and prove the diagnosis with a biopsy.

Why is Brain Tumor Surgery Needed in Children?

Surgery may be recommended if:

• Headaches, vomiting, seizures, or trouble seeing are all signs of the growth.
• Images show that the growth is easy to get to and can be safely removed.
• To find out what kind of growth it is, a tissue sample is needed.
• The tumor is putting pressure on the brain or affecting vital functions.

Types of Pediatric Brain Tumors Treated

• Medulloblastoma
• Astrocytoma
• Ependymoma
• Glioma
• Craniopharyngioma
• Pineal region tumors
• Brainstem tumors (select cases)

What Happens During Surgery?

• The child is placed under general anesthesia.
• A pediatric neurosurgeon with special training gets to the tumor through a carefully planned hole in the head.
• Neuronavigation, intraoperative MRI, and cameras are some of the more advanced tools that help surgeons remove tumors safely and accurately.
• In some cases, a shunt may also be placed to relieve fluid buildup in the brain (hydrocephalus).

Recovery and Follow-Up

• The child is closely watched in the Pediatric ICU after surgery.
• How long it takes to recover varies on what kind of tumor it is and where it is.
• No matter what kind of growth it is, more treatments like radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or physical therapy may be needed.
• Long-term follow-up includes regular scans, neurological exams, and developmental support.

What is a Brain Cyst?

A brain cyst is a sac that fills with fluid and forms in or near the brain. Most brain cysts are safe (not cancerous) and may not cause any symptoms. However, some can get bigger or press on nearby brain tissue, which means they need to be checked out by a doctor.

Brain cysts can be present at birth (congenital) or form later on because of an infection, an accident, or another brain disease.

Types of Brain Cysts

·Arachnoid Cyst: Arachnoid membrane, which is one of the brain's protected layers, forms between the brain and the spinal cord.

• Colloid Cyst: Usually found in the third ventricle can block fluid flow and cause pressure buildup.
• Pineal Cyst: Located in the pineal gland; often harmless but may cause symptoms if large.
• Epidermoid & Dermoid Cysts: Made of skin or hair cells; can grow slowly over time.
• Cystic Tumors: Some tumors have a cyst-like structure but may need further evaluation.

Symptoms of a Brain Cyst

Small cysts often don’t cause any symptoms. However larger or growing cysts may lead to:

• Headaches
• Nausea or vomiting
• Seizures
• Vision problems
• Balance issues
• Difficulty concentrating
• Increased pressure inside the skull (intracranial pressure)

Diagnosis

To diagnose a brain cyst the doctor may recommend:

• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
• CT Scan
• Neurological Examination

These tests help determine the cyst’s size, type and location.

Treatment Options

Treatment depends on the size, location, and symptoms:

• Observation: Small, symptom-free cysts may only require regular monitoring.
• Surgical Removal: If the cyst causes pressure or symptoms surgery may be done to remove or drain it.
• Endoscopic Surgery: Minimally invasive technique to treat accessible cysts with faster recovery.
• Shunt Placement: Used in some cases to drain excess fluid from the brain.

What is a Blood Clot in the Brain?

A brain bleed or skull bleed is another name for a blood clot in the brain. It happens when blood builds up within or close to the brain because of an injury, stroke or blood vessel burst. If you don't treat it right away, it could become life-threatening because it puts dangerous pressure on brain cells.

In the worst cases, the person needs emergency brain surgery to remove the clot, ease pressure and keep the brain from being permanently damaged.

Causes of Brain Blood Clots

• Traumatic brain injury (road accidents, falls)
• High blood pressure
• Ruptured aneurysm
• Bleeding disorders
• Stroke
• Brain tumors
• Use of blood thinners

Symptoms of a Brain Blood Clot

A clot in the brain can develop suddenly and may cause:

• Severe headache
• Vomiting or nausea
• Loss of consciousness
• Seizures
• Weakness or numbness in the limbs
• Slurred speech or confusion
• Vision problems

Immediate medical attention is critical. Delayed treatment can lead to brain damage, coma or death.

Surgical Treatment for Brain Blood Clot

When a brain clot is big or puts pressure on the brain surgery is needed. Some common surgery options are:

1. Craniotomy
   • A part of the skull is temporarily removed to access and remove the blood clot.
   • Helps relieve pressure and repair damaged vessels.
2. Minimally Invasive Drainage
   • In selected cases a small tube is inserted through a small hole to drain the clot.
3. Endoscopic Surgery
   • Uses a camera-guided instrument for precise clot removal with minimal brain tissue damage.

Recovery After Surgery

• How well the patient gets better relies on where the clot is, how big it is and their overall health.
• ICU monitoring is usually required immediately after surgery.
• Some types of rehabilitation are physical therapy, speech therapy and neurorehabilitation.
• Regular follow-up imaging is necessary to ensure no re-bleeding or complications.

Brain Laser-Guided Surgery

What is Brain Laser-Guided Surgery?

Brain laser-guided surgery is a new and mild approach to fix some brain diseases utilizing a narrow laser beam and powerful computer assistance. Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy, or LITT, is another name for it. Doctors don't have to open the whole skull; instead, they make a very small slit to deliver a tiny laser into the brain. The laser heats up and destroys the damaged or diseased tissue while leaving the healthy tissue alone. During the surgery, the doctor can see within the brain clearly thanks to a powerful computer and MRI machine. This means that the treatment is much more precise and safer than standard open brain surgery.

Why is This Surgery Done?

Brain laser-guided surgery is a way for doctors to fix a lot of brain issues, especially when normal surgery isn't safe or is too hard. It can help people with brain tumors, epilepsy, cancers that don't respond to radiation, and other problems deep in the brain. Some brain tumors are in places that are hard to get to with regular surgery. With laser-guided surgery, doctors can get to those places without hurting the brain around them. It's also a fantastic solution for folks who can't handle open surgery.

What Happens During the Surgery?

The doctor does MRI scans before the surgery to find out exactly where the problem is in the brain and how big it is. Then, the patient is put to sleep with general anesthesia so they don't experience any pain during the treatment. The surgeon cuts a small hole in the skull and puts a thin laser probe through it. Using a computer, the probe gets to the right place every time. The laser gradually warms the region and kills the unhealthy tissue once it is in place. Real-time MRI pictures keep a close eye on the whole procedure. After it's over, the laser is taken away and the cut is closed.

What is the Recovery Like?

Because laser surgery only needs a minor cut, it takes less time to heal than regular brain surgery. Most people only stay in the hospital for one or two days. There is less discomfort, fewer stitches, and a lesser risk of becoming sick. Most patients feel better soon and can go back to their normal lives in a week. The doctor tells you what medicine to take, how much rest to get, and when to come back for follow-up visits. A lot of patients are shocked at how rapidly they get better.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)

What is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

Modern, patient-friendly surgery called minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS) is used to treat back problems with smaller cuts and less damage to nearby tissues. Compared to traditional open spine surgery this method lowers pain, shortens recovery time and speeds up healing so patients can get back to their normal lives much faster.

Who Needs This Surgery?

Slipped discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, spine fractures and some types of spinal tumors are all common conditions for which MISS is used. It is often suggested when non-surgical treatments like physical therapy or medicine don't help.

How the Surgery Works

The surgeon uses advanced imaging techniques to make a small cut and insert special tools into it so they can reach the damaged part of the spine. Damaged tissues are carefully taken out or fixed with the help of a camera or microscope. The procedure hurts the body less and lets it heal faster because it doesn't involve cutting muscles too much.

What to Expect After Surgery

Most people can walk again in a few hours after surgery and go home the same day or the next. There is no set amount of time for recovery because it depends on the procedure and the patient's overall health. However most patients go back to work and normal activities much sooner than those who have traditional spine surgery. There is less pain, and you don't need as much medication after surgery.

Why Choose Us?

Our top-notch spine surgeons are highly trained in minimally invasive methods, and they work in cutting-edge facilities. We offer individualized care advanced imaging support, and dedicated rehabilitation to make sure the best possible outcome from the time of diagnosis to recovery.

Disc Replacement Surgery

What is Disc Replacement?

Disc Replacement, also called Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR), is a new type of spine surgery that fixes damaged spinal discs that cause back or neck pain that won't go away. Instead of removing the disc and joining the spine together like in spinal fusion the surgeon replaces the damaged disc with a man-made disc that moves and works like a healthy natural disc.

This procedure helps keep the spine flexible and lowers the long-term stress on nearby spinal levels making it a more natural way to keep your motion.

When is Disc Replacement Recommended?

Disc replacement surgery is typically recommended for patients who have:

·         Persistent neck or lower back pain due to degenerative disc disease

·         No significant spinal instability or nerve compression

·         Tried other treatments like medication or physiotherapy without relief

People who are active have a problem with a single level of disc and want to keep their mobility instead of having a spinal fusion can use it.

How the Procedure Works

The damaged disc is carefully taken out during surgery. A custom-made artificial disc implant is put between the vertebrae in its place. Medical-grade metal and plastic are used to make this fake disc, which moves naturally. The surgery is usually done with general anesthesia and can last for a few hours.

Recovery and Results

After surgery, most people can walk the next day and go home in one to two days. Recovery is faster than with traditional fusion surgery and in 2–4 weeks, most people can do light activities again. Over time, most people say they feel less pain, can move around better and have a better quality of life.

Why Choose Us for Disc Replacement?

Our spine doctors have experience replacing discs in both the neck and the lower back. To make sure accuracy and safety, we use cutting edge imaging and minimally invasive tools. With individualized treatment plans, cutting-edge operating rooms and a team dedicated to recovery and rehabilitation, we help patients feel better for good and get back to living an active life.

Scoliosis & Deformity Correction

What is Scoliosis?

When someone has scoliosis, their spine curves to the side, making a "S" or "C" shape. Idiopathic scoliosis can happen in childhood, but it can also be caused by neurological or muscular conditions, birth defects, or spinal injuries. If the curve is mild, you may not need treatment. But if the curve is moderate to severe, it can hurt, make it hard to stand up straight, and make it hard to breathe over time.

What is Spine Deformity?

A hunchback, a swayback, or flat back syndrome are all examples of spinal deformities, which are abnormal curves or misalignments of the spine. In the worst cases, these conditions can make it hard to walk, balance, or even breathe or heart.

When is Treatment Needed?

Treatment is recommended when scoliosis or deformity:

·         Progresses or worsens with time

·         Causes pain, difficulty standing or walking

·         Affects lung or heart function

·         Impacts a person’s quality of life or self-confidence

For kids and teens, finding the problem early is very important to stop the curve from getting worse. Changes that get worse over time and pain in adults often mean that something needs to be fixed.

Scoliosis & Deformity Correction Surgery

When braces or other non-surgical treatments don't work, spine surgery may be suggested to fix the curve, relieve nerve pressure, and make the spine more stable. Rods, screws, and spinal fusion techniques are used in the surgery to straighten and support the spine in a better position.

Neuromonitoring, navigation systems, and minimally invasive approaches are some of the new technologies that have made scoliosis correction safer and more accurate.

Recovery After Surgery

Patients usually stay in the hospital for a few days, then go to physical therapy and slowly start doing normal things again. Most people see a big difference in their posture, their pain goes away, and their quality of life improves.

Why Choose Us?

We use the most up-to-date diagnostic tools and cutting-edge surgical techniques to provide complete care for both children and adults with spinal deformities. Our experienced spine surgeons work with a team of experts from different fields to make sure that every patient gets a customized treatment plan, full rehabilitation help, and long-term follow-up to make sure that the results last.

Spinal Tumor Surgery

What is a Spinal Tumor?

A spinal tumor is a growth that doesn't belong that happens in or near the spinal cord or spine. These growths may be benign (not cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and they may start in the spine or spread from somewhere else in the body. As a spinal tumor grows, it can put pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, which can cause back pain, numbness, muscle weakness and trouble walking.

When is Surgery Needed?

When a spinal tumor causes a lot of pain, neurological issues, or loss of movement or when it keeps growing despite other treatments, surgery is usually the best option. Some times, surgery is also needed to confirm the diagnosis made by a biopsy. If the tumor is putting pressure on nerves or making the spine less stable, surgery can help stop permanent damage.

How the Surgery Works

The goal of surgery to remove a spinal tumor is to do so in a way that is safe and complete. Depending on where the tumor is and what kind it is, the surgery may involve removing some of the vertebrae, putting implants in the spine to make it more stable or releasing pressure on the spinal cord. To make sure the surgery is done correctly and safely, high-tech tools are used, such as microscopes, intraoperative imaging and nerve monitoring.

Recovery and Aftercare

How well the patient does in general depends on the size and location of the tumor. After surgery, most people stay in the hospital for a few days and can walk soon after. To get back to normal, people often need rehabilitation, which can include physiotherapy. Checkups and follow-up scans are important to make sure the body is healing and to stop the problem from happening again.

Why Choose Us?

Our team of skilled neurosurgeons and spine specialists can treat all kinds of spinal tumors with cutting edge techniques.
