Key Details:

• Patient: 55-year-old A. Ananthalakshmi
• Procedure: Awake craniotomy for a 3.3 x 2.7 cm brain tumor on the left side
• Duration: Two-and-a-half hours
• Outcome: Successful tumor removal; patient expected to be discharged within five days

Background:

• Symptoms: Numbness in limbs and persistent headaches
• Reason for Choice: High treatment costs at private hospitals led her to opt for the government facility

Technique:

• Awake Craniotomy: Allows neurosurgeons to maximize tumor removal while preserving neurological functions by keeping the patient conscious during the procedure. Initially used for epilepsy, it is now commonly employed for tumor resections.

The innovative approach helped keep Ananthalakshmi calm and engaged throughout the surgery, highlighting the integration of patient comfort and advanced medical techniques.
