About Craniotomy for Brain Tumor Resection

Key facts to plan your treatment: how long it takes, your hospital stay, anaesthesia, risks and recovery.

Duration of surgery/treatment
Surgery for brain tumors can be quite variable in duration, as there are very simple and very complex cases. Most cases are between 3h and 8h.
Days admitted
3-4 days for around of 80% of the cases, without any complications and good general condition. Around 7- days for those cases with some complication, other general disease or a neurological deficit that requires starting of neurorehabilitation and planning the continuation of care after discharge. Regular cases, more than 80%, without any complication or special circumstances, they will be able to travel around 6-7 days after surgery. If the travel is a long flight, we advise to wait at least 10 days.
Recovery
For most patients, the procedure requires one night in intensive care after the surgery. Next morning, they go back to the regular hospital room, start walking and eating again. Wound pain is not too bad, and can be managed with routine painkillers, no morphine is usually needed. Patients are ambulatory and in a similar condition as previous one after 3-4 days. The head can be washed with regular soap two days after surgery. Shaving part the head is not necessary, is restricted to 1cm around the wound. Stiches can be removed in 7 days, or left alone, as we use a resorbable material. Some patients could have a neurological problem, like weakness in right or left side, before the surgery, or after the surgery. These patients can expect an improvement within days, weeks or months after the surgery, they should start neurorehabilitation in our center on the first day after surgery, and continue that process at home until recovery.
Risks
Variability of the risks in brain tumor resection is huge, as every case is different, total risk of serious complication can be from 1 to 20%, it depends on size and location of the tumor, and general condition of the patient. Some risks are general, like infection, deep vein thrombosis, and bleeding needing transfusion, we have been able to keep the rate of this three complications, under 1%. The risk of neurological deficit can include impairment of strength or sensation in arms or legs, impairment of visual field, memory loss, or language alteration, to name just the more relevant. The kind of risk present and their magnitude will always be characterized for each case and explained in detail to the patient before surgery.
After care
There are too many parameters to measure this, depending on the kind of tumor. Mortality is well under 1% in our series, 0.3% in our last review for malignant brain tumors resection. Infection, deep vein thrombosis and transfusions are all under 1%. For glioblastoma, the more common malignant tumor, resection is 100% of the tumor volume in more than 80% of cases and more than 98% of tumor volume in 95%.
