Minimally Invasive Trans-Sulcal Port Brain Surgery

Minimally Invasive Trans-Sulcal Port Brain Surgery is a groundbreaking technique designed for the safe removal of deep-seated brain tumors. This approach navigates through the brain’s natural folds (sulci), with the goal of preserving healthy brain tissue and minimizing damage. Patients may benefit from reduced hospital time, less discomfort, and quicker recovery.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

  • Brain Mapping – Utilizes advanced imaging to create a detailed 3D map of your brain, enabling precise surgical planning.
  • Exoscopic Robotic Visualization – Provides enhanced, high-definition visualization with an integrated navigation system based on brain mapping, allowing surgeons to operate with greater accuracy.
  • Non-Thermal Automated Tissue Resection – This innovative device enables surgeons to remove tumors through narrow corridors while preserving critical brain structures, due to its precision and minimal thermal damage.
  • Dynamic Cranial Navigation – Offers real-time display of the brain’s anatomical structures and the tumor’s borders in relation to the skull and brain. This technology is intended to reduce surgical time, minimize trauma, and result in more precise tumor removal.

How is the surgery performed?

Minimally Invasive Trans-Sulcal Port Brain Surgery is performed through radial trans-sulcal corridor access, a technique that is designed to leverage the brain’s natural folds to reach deep-seated tumors without disturbing healthy brain tissue. Here’s an overview of the procedure:

  • Preoperative Planning – Advanced imaging techniques such as MRI and CT scans are used to accurately locate and characterize the tumor.
  • Personalized Brain Mapping – A detailed 3D map of the brain is created, highlighting the tumor and its relationship with surrounding structures.
  • Radial Trans-Sulcal Corridor Access – Surgeons navigate through the brain’s natural folds using this precise approach to minimize disruption to healthy tissue.
  • Tumor Removal – The tumor is resected using non-thermal automated tissue resection devices, with the goal of maximizing preservation of surrounding brain structures.
  • Real-Time Navigation – Dynamic cranial navigation provides continuous, real-time updates, allowing for precise adjustments during surgery.

Safety and Efficiency

Minimally Invasive Trans-Sulcal Port Brain Surgery is recognized for its safety and efficacy. Studies have shown it significantly reduces the risk of brain injury compared to traditional open surgery. This technique helps preserve healthy brain tissue in order to maintain vital brain functions and allows for better postoperative recovery. The ability to remove and analyze the tumor also aids in developing tailored treatment plans based on the tumor’s type and grade.

Selecting the Right Approach

Determining the best surgical approach is a critical part of our care process. Here’s how we seek the right treatment for each patient:

  • Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation – Using advanced imaging techniques to accurately locate and characterize the tumor.
  • Personalized Brain Mapping – Creating a detailed 3D map of the brain to highlight the tumor’s relationship with surrounding structures.
  • Multidisciplinary Team Review – Neurosurgeons, radiologists, and oncologists collaborate to develop a tailored surgical plan as a team.
  • Minimally Invasive Techniques – Prioritizing techniques that minimize disruption to healthy brain tissue, to use the least invasive approach.
