QUESTIONS
Frequently asked about Neurosurgery
Can a tumour in an eloquent area be removed without losing function?
Yes — awake craniotomy with intra-operative mapping allows maximal resection while preserving speech and motor function.
CyberKnife or open surgery?
Depends on size, location and histology. Tumours up to 3 cm in hard-to-reach zones: stereotactic. Larger or infiltrating: surgery.
