Given the advances possible with minimally invasive techniques, there are more surgical options for brain tumors available today. The best chances for complete removal happen when tumors are small and easily separated from brain tissue. As tumors grow, or when they’re close to sensitive areas of the brain, surgery may be more complicated, or complete removal becomes impossible. Radiation and chemotherapy may then be combined with surgery or used alone.

This is a mass of abnormal cells. It may be inside your brain, or it may be next to your brain. It can grow and press harmfully against healthy brain tissue. This can cause a wide range of problems throughout your body. A brain tumor can severely impact your life

In general, the goal of minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery is to stabilize the vertebral bones and spinal joints and/or relieve pressure being applied to the spinal nerves — often a result of conditions such as spinal instability, bone spurs, herniated discs, scoliosis or spinal tumors.
As opposed to open spine surgery, minimally invasive surgical approaches can be faster, safer and require less recovery time. Because of the reduced trauma to the muscles and soft tissues (compared to open procedures), the potential benefits are:
Better cosmetic results from smaller skin incisions (sometimes as small as several millimeters) Less blood loss from surgery.
Reduced risk of muscle damage, since less or no cutting of the muscle is required.
Reduced risk of infection and postoperative pain Faster recovery from surgery and less rehabilitation required Diminished reliance on pain medications after surgery.
In addition, some MIS surgeries are performed as outpatient procedures and utilize only local anesthesia — so there is less risk for an adverse reaction to general anesthesia.
