Brain Surgery Using Surgical Navigation
Overview
Surgical navigation uses advanced imaging technology to help the surgeon accurately identify tissues and targeted areas within the brain during surgery.
Symptoms
- Brain tumors
- Selected epilepsy surgeries
- Conditions requiring access to precise areas of the brain
Diagnosis & Treatment
Evaluation begins with a neurological examination and appropriate imaging. The surgeon uses imaging data to plan the surgical approach and accurately reach the targeted area.
Surgical navigation helps identify the targeted area during the procedure and provides more precise guidance for the surgical approach.
Recovery
Recovery time varies depending on the type and location of surgery and the patient's condition. The surgeon determines the appropriate follow-up and return-to-activity plan.
