Craniotomy for Tumor Introduction:

Craniotomy for Tumor is a neurosurgical procedure performed to remove a tumor from the brain. In this surgery, a portion of the skull is temporarily opened so the surgeon can safely access the brain. After the tumor is removed, the bone flap is usually placed back and secured.

Advanced Surgical Access for Safe Brain Tumor Removal

This procedure is performed under general anesthesia with the patient’s head carefully stabilized using a specialized head fixation device. The scalp is prepared with antiseptic solutions and covered with sterile Nivda Drapes to maintain a contamination-free surgical field. Neurosurgeons create a precise incision in the scalp and use a surgical drill and craniotome to remove a small section of the skull bone. High-magnification operating microscopes, suction devices, and microsurgical instruments help the surgeon carefully separate the tumor from healthy brain tissue. Bleeding is controlled using bipolar cautery and hemostatic materials to protect delicate brain structures. After tumor removal, the bone flap is repositioned and secured, and the surgical site is closed with sterile coverings and sutures.
