Top Treatment Options

Craniotomy

A craniotomy is a surgical procedure where part of the skull is removed to access the brain for treatment of tumors, bleeding, injuries, or other brain conditions.

Advantages
  • 1. Direct brain access – allows precise treatment of tumors, clots, or malformations.
  • 2. Life-saving – can relieve pressure or remove dangerous growths.
  • 3. Advanced tools – modern imaging and navigation improve safety and accuracy.
Limitations
  • 1. Invasive – involves opening the skull, which carries surgical risks.
  • 2. Recovery time – healing may take weeks to months.
  • 3. Possible complications – like infection, bleeding, or neurological deficits.

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery

A non-invasive procedure that uses focused radiation beams to treat brain tumors, AVMs, and other brain conditions without cutting the skull.

Advantages
  • 1. Non-surgical – no incision, less risk of infection or bleeding.
  • 2. High precision – targets only the abnormal tissue, sparing healthy brain.
  • 3. Quick recovery – usually done in one session with minimal downtime.
Limitations
  • 1. Not for all cases – unsuitable for large or deeply located tumors.
  • 2. Delayed effect – results take weeks or months to appear.
  • 3. Radiation risks – potential for swelling or damage to nearby tissue.

Endoscopic Brain Tumor Surgery

A minimally invasive brain surgery where surgeons use an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) through the nose or small skull openings to remove tumors, especially those at the skull base or pituitary gland.

Advantages
  • 1. Smaller incision – less damage to brain tissue and faster healing.
  • 2. Shorter hospital stay – usually 2–4 days compared to open surgery.
  • 3. Better cosmetic outcome – minimal or no visible scars.
Limitations
  • 1. Not for all tumors – large or deep tumors may need craniotomy.
  • 2. Specialized skill needed – requires advanced surgical expertise.
  • 3. Limited working space – may not remove all tumor tissue in one session.
