Tumor neurosurgery

Tumor neurosurgery involves the surgical removal of abnormal growths, or tumors, within the brain or spine. These tumors can be cancerous or non-cancerous and may cause symptoms like headaches, seizures, or neurological deficits. Neurosurgeons use advanced imaging techniques to locate and assess the tumor. The surgery aims to safely remove as much of the tumor as possible while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This procedure can alleviate symptoms, improve quality of life, and in some cases, eliminate the tumor. Recovery varies, but patients often undergo rehabilitation to regain any lost functions.
