Neurosurgical Treatment of Brain Tumors: An Analysis of Current Strategies

Abstract

We have extensively studied the strategies available to many patients admitted to the Neurosurgery Department of the Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar to combat malignant brain diseases. Our survey focused on interviewing leading neurosurgeons, learning about their procedures, and carefully reviewing numerous previous case studies. During our study, a total of sixty cases were observed. We found that craniotomy was the most prevalent method for removing brain tumours, followed by endoscopic surgery and that some patients were sent to specialized clinics for stereotactic and radio surgical procedures. The findings revealed a correlation between tumour type and tumour site, with glioblastoma multiforme and metastatic brain tumours having the greatest rates of morbidity and mortality after surgery. According to the results, craniotomy is the go-to neurosurgical operation for removing brain tumours, and the kind of brain tumour is a crucial determinant in determining the risk of postoperative complications and mortality. The results of this study may have far-reaching consequences for the development of neurosurgical knowledge and technique.
