Brain tumors are among the most challenging conditions in neurosurgery. With the advancement of medical technology, endoscopic surgery has become one of the most important modern techniques, offering high precision while minimizing risks.

What Is Endoscopic Brain Tumor Surgery?

Endoscopic surgery involves using a thin tube equipped with a high-definition camera and fine surgical instruments. The endoscope is inserted through small openings in the skull or through the nose (depending on the tumor’s location) to access and remove the tumor without the need for a large surgical opening.

When Do We Use This Technique?

Endoscopic brain tumor surgery is recommended when the tumor is:

• Located in deep or delicate areas of the brain.
• Near the skull base or the pituitary gland.
• Of a size that allows safe removal using the endoscope.
• In a position where traditional surgery poses a greater risk to the surrounding tissue.

Advantages of Endoscopic Surgery Compared to Traditional Surgery

• Smaller incision and minimal scarring.
• Better protection of healthy surrounding tissue.
• Enhanced visualization with high-definition cameras.
• Less postoperative pain.
• Shorter hospital stay.
• Faster recovery and earlier return to daily activities.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

• Comprehensive preoperative assessment (MRI, lab tests, neurological evaluation).
• Insertion of the endoscope through a small opening or through the nose.
• Precise localization of the tumor using image guidance.
• Removal of the tumor or the compressive part while preserving healthy tissue.
• Safe closure of the surgical opening with meticulous technique.

Are There Any Risks?

Although endoscopic surgery is generally safer, some risks may still occur, such as:

• Cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
• Rare infections.
• Small residual tumor tissue in certain cases.

However, with proper patient selection and performance by an experienced neurosurgeon, these risks are significantly minimized.

What Happens After the Surgery?

• Short hospital stay.
• Regular follow-up imaging to ensure successful tumor removal.
• Specific postoperative instructions to enhance recovery.
• Additional medical or radiotherapy treatment if required.
