Awake Craniotomy
Awake craniotomy for eloquent area surgery is a specialized neurosurgical procedure that allows surgeons to remove brain tumors or lesions located in areas of the brain responsible for critical functions such as speech, motor skills, and sensory perception. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which keeps the patient awake during the surgery. The awake state enables real-time monitoring of neurological functions, allowing the surgical team to map and preserve vital brain regions while removing the tumor or lesion. This approach minimizes the risk of damage to essential brain functions, leading to better surgical outcomes and reduced postoperative deficits for the patient.
Key features of awake craniotomy for eloquent area surgery include:
- Local anesthesia: Keeps the patient awake to monitor neurological functions.
- Brain mapping: Allows identification and preservation of critical brain areas.
- Real-time monitoring: Enables adjustments during surgery to avoid damage to vital functions.
- Improved outcomes: Minimizes postoperative deficits and enhances recovery.
- Tailored approach: Customized surgical plan based on individual patient’s needs and tumor location.
