Recently, the neurosurgery department of Zhengxing Hospital bravely broke into the “forbidden zone” of the brain and successfully performed resection for a patient with a huge tumor in the pineal region. This is a major breakthrough in the neurosurgery of the hospital.
Patient Master Huang started to have inexplicable headaches six months ago, especially in the past two months, not only did the headaches worsen, but sometimes even standing with eyes closed. After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Master Huang rushed to Zhengxing Hospital to seek treatment after some inquiries.
After being admitted to the hospital, it was found that Master Huang had a “walnut”-sized tumor in the pineal region of his brain, accompanied by hydrocephalus. “If the tumor is not surgically removed as soon as possible and the tumor continues to grow, it will not only seriously affect the patient’s life, but even endanger his life!” With the consent of the patient and his family, Li Rong, vice president of Zhengxing Hospital, decided to formulate a detailed plan for the patient. Surgical treatment and tumor resection options.
Surgical resection of the pineal region of the brain has always been a challenge for neurosurgery. Because the pineal gland is located in the core area of the brain, it is deep and adjacent to the brainstem, and there are important large veins and arteries around the tumor. Disastrous consequences such as disability, so the radical resection of tumors in the pineal region has always been regarded as a “major and difficult operation” by neurosurgery. However, surgical treatment is the best way to treat tumors in the pineal region. If the tumor can be removed, and then supplemented with necessary follow-up adjuvant therapy based on accurate pathological results, the prognosis can be improved to the greatest extent. To do this, the neurosurgery team must do everything possible for the patient.
The neurosurgery of Zhengxing Hospital conducted an in-depth analysis of the patient’s condition, using 3D printing modeling, and made a surgical plan formulation, possible risks during and after surgery, and preventive measures. detailed plan. With sufficient preoperative preparation, Vice President Li Rong led the team to successfully complete this case after about 3 hours on the premise of ensuring that the normal brain tissue is not damaged as much as possible with rich surgical experience and sophisticated operation techniques. “Craniotomy for pineal region tumor resection”. After the active treatment and careful care of the neurosurgery medical staff, the patient gradually became awake after the operation and passed the dangerous period of the operation safely. At present, the signs are stable and further treatment is underway.
