Brain Tumor Surgery
Precision Surgery for Optimal Outcomes
Surgical removal is often the most critical primary step in treating brain tumors, whether benign or malignant. The ultimate goal is to safely resect as much of the tumor as possible without compromising healthy brain tissue.
Dr. Sunil Kutty utilizes state-of-the-art neuro-navigation, awake craniotomy techniques, and high-powered microscopes to perform highly precise tumor surgeries. This meticulous approach maximizes oncological success while safeguarding essential neurological functions like speech and movement.
Advanced Surgical Techniques Evaluated
Each brain tumor requires a customized surgical strategy:
Computer-assisted 3D neuro-navigation
Intraoperative MRI and ultrasound monitoring
Awake Craniotomy for speech mapping
Endoscopic tumor resection via nasal passage
Stereotactic biopsies for deep tumors
Fluorescence-guided tumor resection
Post-Surgical Multidisciplinary Care
Surgery is only one component of comprehensive neuro-oncology care:
Radiotherapy Coordination: CyberKnife or conventional radiation planning.
Chemotherapy Management: Working closely with oncologists.
Neurological Rehabilitation: Restoring strength and cognitive function.
Continuous Monitoring: Regular high-resolution MRI follow-ups.
What is an awake craniotomy?
It is a procedure where the patient is temporarily awakened during surgery to perform tasks (like talking or moving) to ensure the surgeon safely avoids critical brain areas.
How long will I be in the ICU after brain tumor surgery?
Typically, patients spend 1 to 2 days in the neuro-ICU for close monitoring before moving to a regular hospital room.
Are all brain tumors fully curable?
Complete removal of benign tumors can often be curative, while malignant tumors require ongoing, multi-modal management.
