Brain Tumor Surgery in Malaysia
Overview
Brain tumour surgery (craniotomy) involves opening the skull to access and remove or debulk a brain tumour. Goals include tissue diagnosis, relief of raised intracranial pressure, and maximising safe tumour removal. Advanced techniques including intraoperative MRI, neuronavigation, awake craniotomy (for tumours near eloquent areas), and fluorescence-guided resection (5-ALA) maximise tumour removal while preserving neurological function. Surgery is combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy for most malignant brain tumours. Stereotactic radiosurgery (Gamma Knife/CyberKnife) is an alternative for small, well-defined tumours.
