Brain Tumor Surgery Techniques Available

Dr. Arun Saroha offers a comprehensive range of advanced brain tumor surgery techniques at Max Hospital Delhi NCR. The choice of surgical approach depends on the tumor type, size, location, and the patient's overall health. Here are the primary techniques available to Bangalore patients:

Craniotomy

Craniotomy is the most established and widely used approach for brain tumor removal. During this procedure, a section of the skull is temporarily removed to access the tumor directly. Dr. Saroha uses advanced neuronavigation systems to plan the smallest possible craniotomy window, minimizing disruption to healthy brain tissue. Awake craniotomy is employed for tumors located near critical speech or motor areas, allowing real-time functional monitoring during surgery. This technique is ideal for large or deep-seated tumors including glioblastoma, meningioma, and metastatic brain tumors. Recovery typically involves 5-7 days of hospitalization followed by 4-6 weeks of home recovery.

Endoscopic Brain Tumor Surgery

Endoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera and surgical instruments to remove tumors through small openings. The most common application is endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas, performed through the nasal passage with no external incision. This technique offers significant advantages including shorter hospital stays (2-4 days), minimal scarring, faster recovery (2-3 weeks), and reduced post-operative pain. Dr. Saroha has extensive experience in endoscopic pituitary surgery with success rates exceeding 90%.

Stereotactic Surgery

Stereotactic surgery uses advanced 3D imaging and computer-guided technology to precisely target tumors deep within the brain. This technique is particularly useful for biopsies of deep-seated tumors that cannot be safely removed through open surgery, and for the precise placement of treatment devices. Stereotactic frames or frameless navigation systems guide the surgeon with millimeter accuracy. This approach minimizes damage to surrounding brain tissue and is often performed through a small burr hole rather than a full craniotomy, resulting in faster recovery times.

CyberKnife Radiosurgery

CyberKnife is a non-invasive robotic radiosurgery system that delivers precisely targeted beams of high-dose radiation to brain tumors without making any incision. It is ideal for small to medium-sized tumors (typically under 3 cm), residual tumor tissue after surgery, tumors in surgically inaccessible locations, and patients who are not candidates for open surgery due to age or health conditions. Treatment is typically completed in 1-5 sessions on an outpatient basis. CyberKnife achieves excellent tumor control rates with minimal side effects and no recovery downtime. Max Hospital houses one of India's most advanced CyberKnife systems.
