Brain Tumours
Brain Tumours
Brain tumours are abnormal growths of cells within the brain or its surrounding structures. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and their location, size, and type determine the approach to treatment. Early and accurate diagnosis is critical for effective management.

Minimally Invasive Approaches: Whenever possible, minimally invasive techniques are employed to reduce tissue disruption, minimize postoperative pain, and speed up recovery.
-
Intraoperative Monitoring: Advanced monitoring methods are used to assess neurological function during surgery, ensuring the utmost precision and patient safety.
