Brain tumor removal

Brain tumor removal, or craniotomy, is a surgical procedure aimed at excising a tumor from the brain. During the operation, a neurosurgeon makes an incision in the scalp and removes a section of the skull to access the tumor. The surgeon carefully dissects the tumor from surrounding tissues, taking care to preserve critical brain functions. This procedure can alleviate symptoms like headaches and seizures and potentially remove the threat of cancer. Recovery varies based on the individual and the tumor's location, with ongoing monitoring and rehabilitation often necessary to regain full function.
