Stereotactic biopsy of brain tumors
Determining the type of brain tumor is a crucial step in determining the optimal treatment. Since some tumors, especially deep ones, are difficult to access, taking a sample of the tumor and analyzing it microscopically is the most accurate way to diagnose the tumor and determine the appropriate treatment.
The 3D stereotaxy device is used to take samples of deep brain tumors with high accuracy, reducing the risk of complications.
How to take samples of brain tumors using the stereotaxy device:
The patient is anesthetized and reference marks are placed on the scalp.
The doctor shaves a small section of hair and sterilizes the area.
A small surgical incision is made.
The stereotaxy needle is carefully inserted into the tumor site using the surgical navigation system.
A sample of the tumor is taken.
The patient undergoes a CT or MRI scan to determine the location of the tumor before the procedure.
Advantages of taking samples of brain tumors using the stereotaxy device:
Access to deep tumors.
Accurate diagnosis.
Short hospital stay.
Outpatient procedure.
Few side effects.
Indications for using the stereotaxic device:
Taking samples from brain tumors.
Diagnosing infections and inflammations.
Diagnosing demyelinating diseases (such as multiple sclerosis).
Diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's).
The importance of choosing a specialist doctor:
Taking samples from brain tumors using the stereotaxic device requires high experience and skill.
A specialized neurosurgeon must be chosen to ensure the best results.
In general, taking samples from brain tumors using the stereotaxic device is a safe and effective procedure for diagnosing deep tumors with high accuracy.
