Brain Tumor Surgery

Endoscopic brain surgery is a minimal invasive brain surgery procedure to treat brain tumors. The endoscopic removal of brain tumors is done by the surgeons through the patient’s nose or small invasive holes and by doing this they avoid any facials or skulls incisions. Endoscopic brain surgery allows doctor to reach the areas which are difficult with the usual surgery method. The doctors perform a biopsy test before performing the procedure so that they can determine the type of tumor and remove it with the surgeries or medications.
