Things to Know Before Undergoing Brain Tumor Surgery
Understanding what to expect before surgery can help patients and families make informed decisions and prepare for recovery:
- The location, size, and type of brain tumor determine the surgical plan
- Complete removal may not always be possible, especially near critical brain areas. Exceptional skill and patience of Neurosurgeons, along with vital Intraoperative monitoring; while operating complex brain tumours is the key to a successful outcome.
- Brain protection by neuro-anesthesia techniques have contributed significantly to successful brain tumour surgeries
- Brain tumor surgery may be followed by radiotherapy or chemotherapy
- Risks include bleeding, infection, and temporary or permanent neurological changes
- Intraoperative neuro monitoring and. Rain Mapping is often used to reduce the risk of damage to healthy / normal brain
- Advanced imaging such as MRI and CT scans are required for pre-surgical planning.
- Preoperative Embolisation of tumours which have a very vascular nature helps in preventing excess blood loss during operative procedure
- Hospital stay and recovery time vary based on the complexity of the procedure
- Rehabilitation therapy may be needed to regain strength or function after surgery
Brain Tumor Surgery Procedures Available at Graphic Era Hospital
Our neurosurgical team offers a range of advanced procedures tailored to the type, location, and complexity of the brain tumor, ensuring safe and effective treatment.

What are the different types of brain surgery for tumors?
Types of brain surgery include traditional craniotomy, stereotactic brain surgery, neuroendoscopic tumor removal, and skull base surgery. The choice depends on the tumor’s location, size, and nature.
What happens after brain tumor removal?
After brain tumor removal, patients may need monitoring, medication, physiotherapy, or follow-up treatments like radiation or chemotherapy. Recovery and neurological outcomes vary depending on the type of tumor and extent of surgery.
Is brain tumor surgery the only treatment option?
Not always. Brain tumor treatment surgery is often combined with other therapies such as radiation, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy, depending on whether the tumor is benign or malignant
