Brain Tumor Surgery
Comprehensive Brain Tumor Care
Dr. Sayuj Krishnan provides comprehensive brain tumor surgery using advanced microsurgical techniques, neuronavigation, and intraoperative monitoring to safely remove tumors while preserving brain function.
- ✓Neuronavigation: Precise tumor localization and removal
- ✓Intraoperative Monitoring: Real-time brain function protection
- ✓Awake Craniotomy: For tumors near speech/motor areas
- ✓Minimal Access: Smaller incisions, faster recovery
Types of Brain Tumors Treated
- •Gliomas: Primary brain tumors
- •Meningiomas: Benign brain tumors
- •Metastatic Tumors: Cancer spread to brain
- •Pituitary Tumors: Hormone-producing tumors
- •Acoustic Neuromas: Vestibular schwannomas
Awake Brain Surgery
Revolutionary Approach to Brain Surgery
Awake brain surgery is a specialized technique where the patient remains conscious during surgery. This allows for real-time monitoring of brain function, ensuring maximum tumor removal while preserving critical functions.
When is Awake Brain Surgery Used?
- • Tumors near speech areas (Broca's area)
- • Tumors near motor cortex
- • Tumors in language-dominant hemisphere
- • Epilepsy surgery in eloquent areas
This technique allows Dr. Krishnan to map brain function in real-time, ensuring the safest possible tumor removal while preserving your ability to speak, move, and think clearly.
Benefits of Awake Brain Surgery
- ✓Real-time Function Mapping: Identify critical brain areas
- ✓Maximum Tumor Removal: Safe resection boundaries
- ✓Function Preservation: Protect speech and movement
- ✓Better Outcomes: Improved quality of life
Patient Comfort: Our team ensures you are comfortable and well-informed throughout the procedure.
ROSA DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation)
Robotic-Assisted Deep Brain Stimulation
ROSA DBS is a revolutionary robotic-assisted procedure for treating movement disorders like Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. The robotic system ensures precise electrode placement for optimal results.
- ✓Robotic Precision: Sub-millimeter accuracy in electrode placement
- ✓Real-time Imaging: Continuous monitoring during surgery
- ✓Reduced Risk: Minimized complications and side effects
- ✓Better Outcomes: Improved symptom control
Conditions Treated with ROSA DBS
- •Parkinson's Disease: Motor symptoms and dyskinesia
- •Essential Tremor: Hand and arm tremors
- •Dystonia: Involuntary muscle contractions
- •Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Treatment-resistant OCD
- •Epilepsy: Drug-resistant epilepsy
Comprehensive Evaluation: Our team conducts thorough assessments to determine if DBS is the right treatment for you.
Epilepsy Surgery
Comprehensive Epilepsy Evaluation
For patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, surgical treatment can offer the best chance for seizure freedom. Dr. Krishnan provides comprehensive evaluation and advanced surgical options.
Evaluation Process:
- • Video-EEG monitoring
- • Advanced brain imaging (MRI, PET)
- • Neuropsychological testing
- • Wada test when indicated
- • Invasive monitoring (SEEG)
Our comprehensive approach ensures the best possible outcome for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
Surgical Options
- ✓Temporal Lobectomy: Most common epilepsy surgery
- ✓Laser Ablation (LITT): Minimally invasive approach
- ✓Vagus Nerve Stimulation: Non-resective option
- ✓Corpus Callosotomy: For generalized seizures
- ✓Multiple Subpial Transection: For eloquent areas

Frequently Asked Questions
Awake Surgery
- What is awake brain surgery and is it painful?
Awake brain surgery allows us to monitor speech and motor functions while removing tumors. The brain itself feels no pain, and local anesthesia ensures you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
Recovery
- How long is the recovery after brain tumor surgery?
Most patients spend 3-5 days in the hospital. You can usually return to light activities in 2-3 weeks and full activities in 4-6 weeks, depending on the tumor location and surgery type.
Procedure
- Do you need to shave my entire head for surgery?
No, in most cases, we only shave a small strip of hair along the incision line. This minimal shaving approach helps maintain your appearance while ensuring a sterile surgical field.
Technology
ROSA DBS
- What is the success rate of ROSA DBS for Parkinson's?
ROSA DBS offers sub-millimeter precision for electrode placement, leading to significant symptom improvement in over 90% of appropriately selected Parkinson's patients.
