Real Life Brain Tumour Surgery - Removing a Meningioma

[@frankallen8440]

I don't even know what to say. Absolutely incredible. The amount of training, skill, and hand eye coordination is beyond my grasp. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheNeurosurgeons]

Thanks Frank. It requires a lot of training, but persistence always wins.

I was diagnosed with a left sphenoid wing meningioma 21 years ago and had the same hope that it would never return. Unfortunately - that wasn't the case and it returned again & again & again 😂 In those 21 years, I've had 4 meningiomas removed but I have the most brilliant Neurosurgeon that has looked after me all that time so I am very fortunate indeed 😊

Hopefully you will not get anymore now, God bless you.

Who is your surgeon?

Great Neurosurgeon ❤❤

[@fragezeichenwenn]

I'm amazed at what you is possible to be seen on the internet! Thank you for the insight on your work, that gives me quite some appreciation for the precision and coordination your work requires. If I may ask a question 1) WIll the bone plate taken out regrow/reconnect with the rest of the skull? 2) Do you use screws that last long (i.e. some form of metal or plastic) or do you use ones that can be absorped by surrounding tissues over time?

Thank you, from a former patient 😊

Would you recommend trying to CESR in neurosurgery, as the NTN application ratios are stupidly high.

That 'cotton' stuff looks more like fiberglass insulation to me lol

[@TheNeurosurgeons]

:) That's true. This fiberglass insulation, the Patties as we call it are an essential in any neurosurgical operation.

@@TheNeurosurgeonsGreat work . Do the patties stay in there forever or do they dissolve?
