Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can surgery be scheduled after diagnosis?

Urgent cases with progressive neurological deficits are prioritised within 48-72 hours. Elective cases are scheduled after tumour board discussions and pre-anaesthesia evaluation, often within 5-7 working days.

Do you treat patients referred from other hospitals?

Yes. We regularly handle referrals for complex skull base tumours and recurrent gliomas. Bring imaging, histopathology reports, and prior treatment summaries for a complete review.

Is a craniotomy always required?

Not always. Some lesions are best managed with stereotactic biopsy, radiosurgery, or endoscopic skull base approaches. Surgical planning is individualised based on tumour type, size, and location.

How long does recovery take after brain tumor surgery?

Most patients spend 1-2 days in the ICU for monitoring and move to the ward for another 3-4 days. You can usually return to light daily activities within 2-3 weeks, though full recovery depends on the specific tumor type and location.

What is the cost of brain tumor surgery in Hyderabad?

The cost of brain tumor surgery varies significantly based on tumor complexity, ICU stay duration, and technology used (neuronavigation, monitoring). Biopsies may start from ₹1,00,000, while complex craniotomies can range higher. We provide transparent estimates after scan review.
