Even the strongest hearts are shaken when they hear the words "you have a brain tumour." There is a great deal of confusion, worry and questions at this time. But we want to reassure you that there is a path ahead and you won't have to go through it alone. At every stage, we are here to support you.
Surgery is frequently the primary and most popular course of treatment for brain tumours. It makes sense that the thought of brain surgery could be intimidating, yet when performed by qualified and experienced neurosurgeons, it is a very safe and successful treatment.
Today's brain tumour surgeries are more focused, less intrusive and aimed at not just eradicating the tumour but also
Among the most prevalent brain cancers are gliomas. Given the aggressive nature of glioblastomas, prompt therapy is essential for a favourable result. We typically do a surgical resection for them, which entails taking out as much of the tumour as is safe. A biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis in more sensitive locations.
Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy, or LITT, may be performed in certain situations. When open surgery is dangerous, this minimally invasive technique uses heat to target and eliminate the cancer.
Another type of glioma that can range in grade is astrocytoma. The primary method is still surgical excision, which is frequently followed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Meningiomas are the most common type of primary brain tumour that develops in the meninges, the layers of tissue that surround the brain and spinal cord. While most meningiomas are benign and grow slowly, there can be some that are aggressive and require surgery. Treatment usually involves surgical removal using skull base approaches or endoscopic resection, especially in cases where the tumour is located in hard-to-reach areas.
From critical care to intraoperative diagnostics, our multidisciplinary unit ensures every stage of neurosurgery is expertly supported and coordinated.
Pituitary tumours can affect the pituitary gland, a tiny structure that plays a key role in hormonal balance. Depending on the symptoms and size of the tumour, an endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery is performed. It is a minimally invasive operation where the tumour is accessed through the nasal passages, resulting in no external scars as well as quicker recovery.
Metastatic tumours are cancers that have spread to the brain from other parts of the body. Treatment varies based on the size, number and location of tumours. Some patients may benefit from a Craniotomy (open surgery) to remove accessible tumours. Others may undergo stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), a highly targeted form of radiation that precisely destroys the tumour without affecting the surrounding tissues.
Vestibular schwannomas or acoustic neuromas are benign tumours of the nerve responsible for hearing and balance. Depending on the size and symptoms, surgery is usually done using retrosigmoid or middle fossa approaches. The focus of the surgery is not only to remove the tumour but also to preserve facial nerve hearing functions.
Children who are diagnosed with brain tumours encounter a distinct set of difficulties. Medulloblastomas and ependymomas are common tumours in children that need to be precisely surgically removed before receiving treatment. In paediatric neurosurgery, the child's safety, neurological growth and general well-being are the main priorities.
Brain tumour surgery is not just about removing the tumours, it's about restoring hope, relieving symptoms and improving our patients' lives. Whether it's complex glioblastoma or a small pituitary adenoma, we approach every case with compassion and the aim to help patients return to their normal life.
