Patient Testimonial for Right Temporal Craniotomy

Brain tumours are abnormal growths that develop within the brain tissue and can be either malignant or benign. These tumours can be either primary (originating from the brain) or secondary (metastatic), spreading to the brain from other parts of the body. Brain tumours can cause various symptoms, including headaches, seizures, cognitive impairment, and neurological deficits.

A right temporal craniotomy is a surgical procedure used to remove a brain tumour from the right temporal region of the brain. This procedure involves making an incision and creating a bone flap on the right side of the skull, specifically in the temporal area. The surgeon carefully removes the tumour, taking measures to preserve the surrounding healthy brain tissue and vital structures. Advanced imaging techniques, such as MRI and intraoperative monitoring, help improve the precision and safety of the procedure.

Tumour excision aims to relieve symptoms, prevent further growth or spread of the tumour, and potentially improve the quality of life of the patient. However, like any surgical procedure, it carries certain risks, including infection, bleeding, damage to surrounding structures, and post-operative complications.

Mr. Malthumkar Pentaji from Kadthal, Ranga Reddy, successfully underwent a Right Temporal Craniotomy for Tumor Excision at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Srinivas Botla, Senior Consultant Neurosurgeon.
