Apollo Cancer Centres (ACCs) in Chennai, India, has unveiled a groundbreaking advancement—the world’s premiere eyebrow keyhole surgery for insular brain tumors. This transformative breakthrough not only underscores ACCs’ unwavering commitment to cutting-edge healthcare solutions but also cements its position as a global leader in oncology.
The journey commenced with the diagnosis of a 44-year-old woman harboring an insular tumor, presenting a formidable challenge due to its deeply embedded location within the cerebral cortex. Traditional surgical approaches posed significant risks, necessitating a paradigm shift in treatment methodology.
Drawing upon their collective expertise and leveraging state-of-the-art technology, ACCs’ neurosurgical team devised a revolutionary strategy—an eyebrow keyhole approach. This minimally invasive technique, which entails a minute incision in the eyebrow, offers unprecedented access to the insular region while minimizing collateral damage and enhancing patient safety. Dr. Preetha Reddy, Executive Vice Chairperson of Apollo Hospitals Enterprises Ltd, lauded this achievement as a testament to ACCs’ relentless pursuit of excellence in healthcare.
