Keyhole Brain Surgery
Keyhole Brain Surgery in Maharashtra
The concept of “keyhole” involves observing an entire room through the small opening in a door. Although it may be simpler to remove the door and potentially widen the opening by altering the frame, such methods require extra effort and the condition of the door after replacing might not be as good as before. A more refined approach involves achieving the same goals by examining the room through the keyhole from various angles of visualization. Keyhole brain surgery is also known as ‘minimally invasive brain tumor surgery’ , it may sometimes be performed as ‘neuro endoscopic surgery’. The objective of the surgery is to carefully remove brain and skull-based tumors with minimal disruption to the healthy brain tissue, blood vessels, and nerves surrounding the tumor.
This surgical approach involves the use of specialized instruments and techniques to access and remove the tumor through smaller and more precise incisions or natural body openings like the mouth or nostrils to remove the tumor.
Is Keyhole Brain Surgery the Option for You?
While keyhole brain surgery or minimally invasive brain tumor surgery has many advantages, it may not be required for all sizes and types of brain tumors. If the tumor is complex or large, it might necessarily require open surgery for optimal resection and access.
A keyhole brain surgery is suggested based on the patient’s unique circumstances, features of the tumor, and the surgeon’s judgment.
Keyhole surgery can also be an effective treatment for many conditions, such as:
Acoustic neuromas(C-p angle tumors) : This is an uncommon and non-cancerous tumor. It progresses slowly due to an excess of Schwann cells. The hearing and balance nerves in the inner ear are affected by the tumor. Keyhole surgery can help remove this tumor.
Meningiomas : These are tumors that arise in the meninges, the outer three layers of tissue that lie between the brain and the skull.
Gliomas : These are primary cancers of the brain. Based on histology they may be astrocytonas, glioblastomas,oligodendrigliomas etc.
Metastatic Brain or Spine Tumors: These tumors are brought on by cancer cells that have moved from other regions of the body to the brain.
Pituitary adenomas: They arise from the master gland of the body, and they may be effectively removed by scarless transnasal endocsopic surgery.
Intraventricular tumors : They are challenging tumors at the center of the brain and are surrounded by vital brain structures and the water-ways of the brain.
