Diagnostics
Sometimes, for tumors that are clearly impossible to remove or when there is doubt about the nature of the intracerebral tumor , a diagnostic operation is performed – a brain tumor biopsy. This intervention consists in the fact that through a small milling hole in the bones of the skull, special instruments are brought to the tumor node and a sample of tumor tissue is taken for histological and, or, histochemical examination.
Advantages
This makes it possible to establish the nature of the brain tumor as accurately as possible and determine the optimal further treatment tactics in this particular case, whether further treatment will be carried out:
- advanced surgical intervention,
- or radiation therapy,
- radiosurgery,
- chemotherapy for this tumor.

Examination by a neurosurgeon is a key step in determining an accurate diagnosis and planning treatment for diseases of the brain and nervous system.
A professional neurosurgeon uses modern methods: MRI, CT, PET and others, which allow you to obtain detailed information about the structure and functions of the brain. Cognitive functions are also assessed.
The main goal is to detect pathology in a timely manner and begin effective treatment. The success of the recovery and the patient's quality of life in the future depend on this.
Neurosurgery is a complex field where surgical intervention requires millimeter precision. Any imprecise movement can lead to serious neurological disorders.
That is why the neurosurgical operating room must be perfectly adapted to the needs of the procedure. It ensures absolute sterility and protection against infections during open intervention.
Modern equipment systems help the surgeon work as efficiently as possible and guarantee the highest level of safety for both the patient and the medical team.
