First patient undergoes brain tumor removal through eyebrow incision and recovers in two days

A 75-year-old woman has become the first person to have a brain tumor removed through an eyebrow incision, recovering in just two days. This new technique, developed by NHS surgeon Anastasios Giamouriadis, significantly reduces surgery time and recovery compared to traditional methods. The modified procedure, known as the Modified Eyebrow Keyhole SupraOrbital Approach, allows for quicker access to the tumor and results in less scarring. Patients typically leave the hospital the day after surgery, contrasting with the longer recovery associated with craniotomies. Surgeons report that this method not only benefits patients but also reduces fatigue during lengthy operations. The technique has been endorsed by professional medical organizations and shows promising results for future brain surgeries.
