January 3, 2008 — A new study suggests that a smaller craniotomy in conjunction with negative language mapping can be used to maximize tumor removal and minimize deficits when gliomas within or near ...

Neurosurgeons are reporting significant results of a new brain mapping technique that allows for the safe removal of tumors near language pathways in the brain. The technique minimizes brain exposure ...

A technique that maps a patient's language centers before going into surgery works best when their brain tumor is not in those areas. The finding, published by Nagoya University researchers in the ...

When removing cancerous tissue in the brain, neurosurgeons often use "awake brain mapping" to minimize the risk of causing unintended disruptions to a patient's quality of life while removing as much ...

Awake brain surgery, medically known as Awake craniotomy, is among the most remarkable advances in modern neurosurgery. The technique is designed not only to remove brain lesions or tumours, but also ...
