Minimally invasive technique used to remove brain tumour

NEW DELHI: A 50-year-old woman from Jharkhand underwent a surgery to remove brain tumor at a private hospital in Gurgaon on Saturday. The doctors said they used the latest technique of removing pituitary gland tumor- through nose with the help of endoscope.

"The surgery was performed without any incision(cut) or stitch," claimed a doctor.

He added, "K Bibi, from Jharkhand visited the hospital initially with complaints of headache and decreased vision. Gradually, her facial features thickened (coarse) and her height also increased, more than her husband in last two years. After undergoing investigations including MRI, she consulted Dr KK Chaudhary, Consultant- Neurosurgery at Columbia Asia Hospital and was diagnosed with Pituitary Tumor."

A pituitary tumor is an abnormal growth in the pituitary gland, the part of the brain that regulates the body's balance of hormones.

Explaining the procedure Dr KK Chaudhray said, "The needle is inserted from the nose and a hole is made between the base of the brain and nasal cavity. The tumor is treated through the instrument through endoscopy. It is a new technique in medical sector and few people are performing it. Unlike the other surgeries, it is less painful and also takes less time to recover. We need to make people aware about this 'stitchless and bloodless surgery."
