MINIMALLY INVASIVE BRAIN SURGERY
INTRODUCTION
Minimally invasive procedure is used in neurosurgery to
diagnose and treat neurological conditions such as
hydrocephalus, brain tumor and movement disorders such
as Parkinsons disease. In traditional brain surgery,
surgeons used to remove part of the skull to get access to
the brain. On the contrary, minimally invasive surgery
usually involves making of 1 to 2 cm tiny holes. Through
these cuts or incisions, instruments with laparoscope or a
miniature camera is inserted to get access to the affected
areas of the brain.

Surgeons observe the progress of the patient with real time
intra-operative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (iMRI) and
Computed Tomography (iCT) scanning, along with advanced
image-guidance navigation system capabilities. Through these
advanced technologies surgeons perform more complicated
surgeries with greater accuracy. The ideal surgical approach
depends on various factors such as the type and location of the
tumor. The reason behind opting for minimally invasive brain
surgery is to maximize tumor removal and minimize the
chances of complications and patient disfigurement while
boosting the complete and less painful recovery.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE
APPROACH
Supraorbital Eyebrow Approach: This process is useful
for patients with meningiomas, craniopharyngiomas and
other tumors occurred near the optic nerves and pituitary
gland. This approach is ideally performed with the help of
an endoscope.
Endonasal Endoscopic Surgery: This surgery is
performed through the nostrils and ideal for most pituitary
adenomas, chordomas, olfactory neuroblastomas, sinus
carcinomas and a series of other diseases.
Mini-Pterional Approach: This surgical procedure
reduces the normal tissue disruptions and brain retraction
while the cosmetic outcome is maintained. This approach
gives direct access to certain sphenoid wing, parasellar
meningiomas and other tumors of the cavernous sinus.
Retromastoid Approach: In this process a small window
is formed behind the ear to reach eliminate meningiomas,
acoustic and trigeminal schwannomas, epidermoid tumors,
and tumors of the cerebellum such as metastatic brain
tumors and hemangioblastomas.
BENEFITS OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE
Small incisions
Less pain
Low risk of infection
Short hospital stay
Quick recovery time
Less scarring
Reduced blood loss
