Awake Crainiotomy

June 202010

Healthcare Heroes Episode 1009.1: During surgery to remove two brain tumors from Patricia Reed, neurosurgeon Meg Verrees determined the second tumor would require a specialized surgery. Because of the second tumors location, Dr. Verrees needed the patient awake during part of the surgery as the tumor was beneath the area of the brain that controls speaking and walking. Patricia Reed helped the surgeon by talking during parts of the surgery so Dr. Verrees could make sure she did not operate in areas that would affect Patricias speech or ambulatory abilities. After a successful surgery by Dr. Verrees and her special team of clinicians, Patricia spent awhile recuperating in the hospital and went home to recover and rehabilitate.

Live webcast: No incision surgery for pituitary brain tumor

June 122010

OR-Live.com broadcast December 13th @ 6:00 PM CST from Trinity Mother Frances Neuroscience Institute, Tyler, TX

On December 13 at 6 p.m. Central Time, Trinity Mother Frances will host a live webcast of a neurosurgical procedure during which a pituitary brain tumor will be removed through a patient’s nasal cavity. Sabatino Bianco, MD, a Trinity Clinic neurosurgeon and the Director of the Trinity Mother Frances Neuroscience Institute, will perform an endoscopic transsphenoidal hypophysectomy (ETH), which eliminates the need for incisions and removal of the nasal septum and/or nasal turbinates.
Victor Williams, MD, also a Trinity Clinic neurosurgeon, will serve as moderator of the webcast.

“This technique is offered by very few neuroscience centers in the world,” said Dr. Bianco. “In order to perform this operation, a neurosurgeon must go through a long learning curve and have access to specialized endoscopic instrumentation and navigational system technology. The pain, recovery time and travel have all been reduced for our patients. We are very excited.”
