January 3, 2008 — A new study suggests that a smaller craniotomy in conjunction with negative language mapping can be used to maximize tumor removal and minimize deficits when gliomas within or near ...

When removing cancerous tissue in the brain, neurosurgeons often use "awake brain mapping" to minimize the risk of causing unintended disruptions to a patient's quality of life while removing as much ...

Neurosurgeons are reporting significant results of a new brain mapping technique that allows for the safe removal of tumors near language pathways in the brain. The technique minimizes brain exposure ...

A technique that maps a patient's language centers before going into surgery works best when their brain tumor is not in those areas. The finding, published by Nagoya University researchers in the ...

Explore awake brain surgery, a groundbreaking technique that preserves critical brain functions while effectively treating tumors and lesions.

Awake brain surgery, medically known as Awake craniotomy, is among the most remarkable advances in modern neurosurgery. The ...

Awake brain surgery is a safe and effective treatment for several brain conditions. Although it may be intimidating for a person to be awake during brain surgery, this is often an essential part of ...
