Our approach to brain tumor surgery incorporates several cutting-edge techniques like functional MRI, neuro-navigation, intraoperative neuromonitoring, ultrasound, real-time ultrasound and fluorescence technology to aid in tumour removal
These sophisticated techniques allow our surgeons to perform brain tumor surgeries with maximum safety and effectiveness. Our department specializes in treating all types of brain tumors, from benign meningiomas to malignant gliomas.
An acoustic schwannoma, also known as a vestibular schwannoma or acoustic neuroma, is a non-cancerous tumour that develops on the vestibular nerve, which connects the inner ear to the brain. Diagnosis begins with a thorough clinical evaluation, including a detailed medical history and physical examination to identify symptoms such as hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance issues. Audiometric tests assess hearing loss while imaging studies like MRI with gadolinium contrast are used to visualize the tumor. CT scans and electrophysiological tests, including auditory brainstem response (ABR) may be done for further assessment. Surgery is indicated for larger tumours or those causing significant symptoms.
A brain tumor is an abnormal growth or mass of cells in the brain. These tumours can be either benign or malignant. A craniotomy is a surgical procedure where a portion of the skull bone is removed to access the brain depending on the location of the tumour. Neuronavigation is used to plan the site of entry and the size of the opening depending on the preoperative images of the patient. The tumour will be identified and removed based on its location within the brain.
Intraventricular tumors are growths that develop within the brain’s ventricles, which are hollow spaces filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Surgery is a primary treatment option for intraventricular tumors, tailored to the tumor’s type, size, location, and the patient’s overall health. We offer two main surgical approaches namely Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Surgery and Craniotomy.
A pituitary tumor or adenoma is an abnormal mass or growth that occurs in the pituitary gland, a small pea-sized gland in the brain. This gland produces hormones that regulate the functions of various other glands. Although most pituitary tumors are not cancerous, they can disrupt hormone production, leading to various health issues in the body. Medications are prescribed to control the symptoms, hormonal secretion or to shrink the tumors. Surgery is done if the tumor causes symptoms such as vision problems or alters hormone levels. Craniotomy is preferred in case of large tumor masses
Most meningiomas are benign and do not invade other organs. They originate in the Arachnoid of the meninges and are more common in the brain. We employ advanced diagnostic techniques to accurately identify meningiomas. Utilizing MRI and CT scans we determine the presence, size and precise location of the tumours. In some cases, a biopsy is performed to confirm the diagnosis and assess the tumor type. Comprehensive neurological examinations are conducted to evaluate the impact on brain functions and advanced imaging techniques such as PET scans provide detailed tumor mapping.
Our approach to meningioma surgery includes meticulous preoperative planning with 3D imaging to map out the tumor and determine the best surgical strategy. We utilize minimally invasive techniques to reduce recovery time and minimize surgical risks.
Glioma is a type of brain tumor. Patients suspected of having gliomas undergo a comprehensive set of tests to confirm the diagnosis and determine the tumor's grade which includes clinical examination, MRI scans and sometimes a biopsy if required. Treatment plans are tailored based on the tumor's grade, location, and the patient's overall health.
Craniotomy or an open brain surgery technique is most commonly used for glioma. In cases where the tumor is in proximity to crucial brain regions, surgery may be complemented by intraoperative MRI or intraoperative brain mapping.
For chordomas, our treatment approach typically includes a combination of surgical resection and radiation therapy. Despite the challenges, our goal is to achieve optimal tumor control and improve the quality of life for our patients.
Trigeminal schwannomas are often addressed through microsurgical techniques aimed at complete tumor removal. While these procedures can be associated with high morbidity, our experienced surgeons utilize advanced techniques to minimize risks and maximize recovery.
Craniosynostosis involves the premature fusion of skull sutures, leading to abnormal skull development. It occurs when the growth seams in the skull fuse too early. Craniosynostosis is usually treated with surgery to unlock the fused bones and reshape the skull. Our neurosurgical team has the highest experience in the treatment of such complex conditions
