About Your Surgery
Your Brain
Your brain is an organ that controls different functions in your body, such as:
Thought
Memory
Speech
Vision
Emotion
Hunger
Movement
If you have a tumor in your brain, it can affect the way your body normally functions. It can cause headaches, dizziness, vomiting, vision problems, poor balance, unsteady walking, or weakness.
There are many other functions that can be affected by a brain tumor. Your surgeon or nurse practitioner (NP) will talk with you about what functions may be affected by brain tumor removal surgery.
Brain Tumor Removal Surgery
The most common surgeries to remove brain tumors are a craniotomy and craniectomy.
With either surgery, your surgeon will first make an incision (surgical cut) through your scalp (the skin covering your skull). After the incision is made, your surgeon will pull back the skin (skin flap) and muscle covering your skull bone. Then, they will use special tools to remove part of the bone from your skull (bone flap) to see your brain and tumor (see Figure 1).
Once the bone flap is removed, your surgeon will open the dura (tissue covering your brain) and remove the tumor. They will use a special computer system to remove all or part of the tumor. After the tumor is removed, your surgeon will close the dura. The bone flap may not be replaced. The incision will be closed with sutures or staples and may be covered with a soft bandage.
