: Visualizes white matter tracts to help plan surgical trajectories that avoid disconnecting essential brain networks. The "Neurosurgery by Example" Approach
: Surgical removal can alleviate symptoms like weakness or language difficulties caused by tumor pressure.
The primary goal in surgical neuro-oncology is —removing as much of the tumor as possible while strictly preserving neurological function. Surgical Neuro-Oncology (Neurosurgery by Exampl...
is a specialized branch of neurosurgery dedicated to the surgical management of benign and malignant tumors affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems. Core Clinical Objectives
: Surgery often serves as a "bridge," making subsequent radiation or chemotherapy more effective. Advanced Surgical Techniques : Visualizes white matter tracts to help plan
: Acts as a "GPS for the brain," using pre-operative MRI scans to guide the surgeon's instruments in real-time.
: Includes tubular port-based systems and "keyhole" craniotomies (e.g., eyebrow incisions) to reduce patient recovery time. is a specialized branch of neurosurgery dedicated to
: Techniques like awake craniotomy and subcortical stimulation mapping are used to identify and avoid critical motor and language pathways during resection.
