Brain Tumor Surgery in Kochi
Brain Tumor Surgery in Kochi
Brain tumors require careful evaluation and precision-guided management. We combine advanced imaging with minimally invasive approaches to achieve safe, effective outcomes.
Understanding Brain Tumors:
Brain tumors can arise from brain tissue itself or spread from other parts of the body. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Common examples include gliomas, meningiomas, pituitary adenomas, and acoustic neuromas. Early detection and expert management are crucial for successful outcomes.
Diagnostic Evaluation:
Our center in Kochi employs advanced MRI and functional imaging techniques to precisely locate and characterize brain tumors. Neuronavigation and intraoperative imaging help plan surgery with utmost precision. We also offer biopsy and pathology correlation for accurate diagnosis.
Medical and Surgical Management:
Many brain tumors can initially be managed medically with steroids, anti-epileptic medications, or radiation therapy. Surgery is considered when the tumor causes pressure effects, seizures, or progressive neurological deficits. Our neurosurgeon in Kochi uses microsurgical and keyhole endoscopic techniques to minimize trauma to normal brain tissue.
Advanced Surgical Techniques:
Using endoscopic-assisted keyhole approaches, we remove tumors through smaller incisions, sometimes even through the nose (for pituitary tumors). This results in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring.
Rehabilitation and Follow-up:
After surgery, patients receive individualized rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and neuropsychological support. Regular imaging follow-up helps detect recurrence early. We believe in long-term, holistic care for every patient with a brain tumor in Kochi.
