Meningioma surgery is a neurosurgical operation to remove a tumour that grows from the meninges — the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Most meningiomas are benign and slow-growing, but because they develop inside the skull they can press on brain tissue, cranial nerves, or blood vessels, causing symptoms such as headaches, seizures, weakness, or vision changes. The standard operation is a craniotomy, in which a section of skull bone is temporarily removed to access and remove the tumour under an operating microscope with computer-guided navigation. For certain tumours at the base of the skull, the surgery may be performed through the nose using an endoscope, avoiding any skin incision. Operating times typically range from three to eight hours, and most patients spend four to seven days in hospital after surgery. Outcomes are generally very good for benign, completely removed tumours.
The most common approach: a section of the skull is temporarily removed to access and remove the tumour under an operating microscope, then replaced with titanium fixings.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: MRI brain with contrast (if not recent), CT scan of head (bone windows), MR angiography or CT angiography (if tumour near major vessels), CBC, PT/INR, aPTT, Kidney and liver function tests, Blood group and type-and-screen, ECG, 2D Echocardiography (age/cardiac risk-dependent). Done in India before hospital admission.
