Awake Brain Surgery at Memorial Neuroscience Institute
Brandon J. Davis, MD, Neurosurgeon, and Madiley Broz, PsyD, Neuropsychologist, explain awake brain surgery at Memorial Neuroscience.
Awake brain surgery is a special type of craniotomy performed when a tumor or a lesion is located in very sensitive areas of the brain. Initially sedated, the patient is awakened during surgery in order to provide feedback that helps guide the neurosurgeon during the procedure.
Byron, who had a brain cancer tumor shares some of what he experienced during his awake brain surgery procedure.
