Brain tumours are difficult to remove. There is a fine balance that has to be struck between how much of the tumour can be safely removed and how much should be left in order to maintain functionality. Today advanced minimally invasive surgeries provide the safest way to remove maximum tumour tissue allowing surgeons to provide the most effective tumour treatment that preserves maximum functionality.

Keyhole surgery for brain and skull base tumours
Endoscopic endonasal surgery for brain tumours
With EEA, surgeons reach tumours and lesions of the skull base and top of the spine directly by operating through the nose and sinuses. A specially designed endoscope provides light and a lens allows transmitting and viewing internal images. Highly crafted instruments are used alongside the endoscope for dissection and tumor removal.
An endoscope reaches parts of the brain that are difficult to reach through traditional surgery. As there is no large incision and no part of the skull is removed, the recovery is quicker and less painful.
Minimally invasive brain tumour surgeries are very difficult and demand a very high level of skill. Our team of neurosurgeons specialise in these surgeries and determine the most suitable method to be followed based on the type of tumour and its location in the brain. Our aim is to remove as much of the tumour as safely possible while helping the patient retain maximum function of the body and the mind.
