Advanced Neuroendoscopy Techniques for Brain Tumour

Neuroendoscopy is a minimally invasive kind of brain surgery that allows doctors to access areas of the brain that would otherwise be inaccessible. It also enables tumour removal without requiring a big incision in the skull; instead, tumours are removed through the mouth, nose, or a tiny window in the skull.

An endoscope, which is a tiny, flexible tube with a camera and a small set of surgical equipment attached, is used to perform neuroendoscopy. This treatment can be used to extract a tissue sample for further testing (a biopsy) or to remove a portion or the entire brain tumour.

• Acoustic neuroma
• Ventricular cancer
• Tumours of the pituitary gland
• Pineal gland tumours
• Meningiomas
• Cancers of the bones, including osteosarcoma of the skull base
• Pituitary tumours are types of brain tumours.
• Optic nerve compression, for example, is a condition that affects vision.
• Damage to the cranial nerves or illnesses such as Bell's palsy and trigeminal neuralgia
• Fractures of the facial bones and the skull
• Tumours of the head and neck include sinus carcinoma and glomus tumours.
• Herniated mid- or lower-back spinal discs
• Cysts of the nervous system
• Arteriovenous malformations, aneurysms, and hemorrhagic strokes are all examples of neurovascular disorders.
• Brain pseudotumours (false tumours), including pseudotumor cerebri
• Compression fractures of the spine

Neuroendoscopy is often performed in a hospital and often necessitates at least an overnight stay for monitoring. Some treatments can be performed in ambulatory surgery centres, allowing you to return home the same day.

After the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA), you may experience just minimal nasal irritation. After procedures requiring tiny incisions in the scalp and bone of the skull, you will be given pain medications to make you comfortable.

One of the numerous advantages of neuroendoscopy is that it has a lower risk of problems than open surgery with a wider incision. Although there are hazards, in many circumstances, the advantages of surgery exceed the risks. Any questions you have concerning your operation will be answered by your surgeon and care team.

Your neurosurgical care team will offer instructions on how to care for your incisions (if any), permissible activity levels, and suggested follow-up appointments before you leave the hospital. Most people recover quickly and have a significantly higher quality of life.

Each patient is assessed by Dr. Ravi Suman and a team of expert surgeons who identify the optimal surgical technique for his or her needs at Yashoda Hospital. Neuroendoscopy, like other minimally invasive treatments, has a number of advantages over open-brain surgery in many circumstances, including faster recovery periods and reduced complication rates.
