- Contemporary Methods in Brain Tumor Surgery
Just like GPS, which is a satellite-assisted navigation system in the open sea, it is now common The "Neuronavigation" system; enables the neurosurgeon to see on the screens which part of the brain he is touching at that moment by recreating the images obtained before the surgery in a live and 3-dimensional virtual environment in the operating room. .
Thanks to this system, for example, many small tumors in the brain can be removed by microsurgery safely, that is, without causing much harm to the patient.
Ultrasonic aspirator (CUSA) device, thanks to sound waves during surgery; Only the disintegration of the tumor tissue, but without damaging the normal brain tissue and vessels, can be achieved.
Again, very high-speed rotating diamond-tipped drills (TUR engine)and saws, which easily remove the skull bone, can be used to remove the tumor. Today, brain surgeries can be performed with high success rates thanks to the latest technologies of modern medicine, such as the operating microscope that can increase the surgeon's vision forty times during the removal phase, brain endoscopes that allow us to see behind a corner, and the ultrasonography device used to view the tumor during surgery.
