A woman has fully recovered after a nine-hour hybrid neurosurgery at Chennai's MGM Malar Hospital, which removed a large brain tumour, preventing paralysis and complications.

The complex procedure combined a minimally invasive endovascular technique to cut off the tumour’s blood supply and an open microsurgical procedure using a microscope.

The patient, who suffered severe headaches for six months and recent weakness in her right arm and leg, sought treatment as her condition deteriorated.

The hybrid neurosurgery team, supported by neuro anaesthesia, interventional anaesthesia, ICU, and neuro rehab specialists, executed the procedure flawlessly.

The endovascular step minimised blood loss by reducing the tumour’s blood supply, followed by a challenging microsurgical removal.
