Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Glioma Surgery. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Glioma surgery is a neurosurgical operation to remove as much of a brain tumour as can be safely taken out, while protecting the surrounding tissue responsible for movement, speech, vision, and memory. It is recommended for most adults with a newly diagnosed glioma — both to confirm the exact tumour type through pathology and molecular testing, and to reduce tumour bulk before radiation and chemotherapy. The operation is most commonly performed as a craniotomy, in which a section of the skull is temporarily removed to allow microsurgical access to the tumour. For tumours close to critical brain functions, an awake craniotomy with intraoperative brain mapping may be used so the patient can respond to language and movement tasks in real time, helping the surgeon define safe boundaries. Recovery in hospital typically takes four to ten days, with further rehabilitation at home before subsequent oncology treatment begins.
The skull is temporarily opened and a high-powered microscope is used to remove as much tumour as possible while the patient is under general anaesthesia.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $2,000
Typical tests for this variant: MRI brain with contrast (FLAIR, diffusion, perfusion sequences), CT brain for bone anatomy and surgical planning, CBC, PT/INR, APTT, LFT, KFT, serum electrolytes, Blood sugar (fasting) and HbA1c, ECG and chest X-ray, Blood group and cross-match. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $6,000 – $9,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~5 days
Hospitalisation: ~8 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~24 days recommended
Total stay: approx 37 days
The patient is kept awake during part of the operation so the surgeon can map speech and movement areas in real time, allowing safer removal of tumours near critical brain functions.
Estimated cost: ~$1,500 – $2,000
Typical tests for this variant: MRI brain with contrast (FLAIR, diffusion, perfusion sequences), Functional MRI (fMRI) for speech and motor task activation, Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) / tractography, CT brain for surgical planning, Neuropsychological baseline assessment, CBC, PT/INR, APTT, LFT, KFT, serum electrolytes, ECG, Blood group and cross-match. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $8,000 – $12,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~5 days
Hospitalisation: ~8 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~24 days recommended
Total stay: approx 37 days
A small hole is drilled in the skull and a fine needle is guided by computer imaging to take tumour tissue samples — used when open removal is not possible or when diagnosis alone is needed.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: MRI brain with contrast (for biopsy targeting), CT brain (surgical planning), CBC, PT/INR, APTT, LFT, KFT, serum electrolytes, ECG and chest X-ray, Blood group and cross-match. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $3,000 – $5,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~3 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~9 days recommended
Total stay: approx 15 days
