What is Glioma Surgery?
Glioma surgery removes or debulks a glial tumour inside the brain, often using mapping, fluorescence or navigation so as much tumour as is safe can be taken while eloquent function is protected. A craniotomy is planned over the tumour. Mapping, navigation or fluorescence may guide resection. Tissue is sent for histology and, when written, molecular tests. Closure and neuro-ICU observation follow.
