Brain tumor treatment with neuro endoscopy surgery

Endoscopic brain surgery is a way to remove brain tumors with as minor damage as possible. It involves using a small tube called an endoscope with a camera and surgical instruments to access the brain through tiny incisions. This method makes it possible to remove tumors precisely while saving the surrounding tissue. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, with the surgeon navigating the brain using neuronavigation technology. It makes the surgery easier to plan and safer. In addition, the endoscope's camera gives a magnified, real-time view of the surgical site, making the tumor and nearby structures easier to see. Endoscopic surgery can be done on some types of brain tumors, depending on the tumor size, location, and the patient's overall health. It works best for tumors near the skull base, the ventricular system, the pituitary gland, the pineal region, or the brainstem. This inpatient procedure usually requires a 12-day stay for preoperative exams, lab tests, diagnostic procedures, surgery, and care after the surgery. Patients can expect to talk to a neurosurgeon and an anesthesiologist and have different tests, such as blood tests, MRI scans, and chest X-rays. Postoperative care includes symptomatic treatment, medication, and follow-up recommendations for a smoother and faster recovery.
