Brain laser-guided surgery is a new and mild approach to fix some brain diseases utilizing a narrow laser beam and powerful computer assistance. Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy, or LITT, is another name for it. Doctors don't have to open the whole skull; instead, they make a very small slit to deliver a tiny laser into the brain. The laser heats up and destroys the damaged or diseased tissue while leaving the healthy tissue alone. During the surgery, the doctor can see within the brain clearly thanks to a powerful computer and MRI machine. This means that the treatment is much more precise and safer than standard open brain surgery.
Brain laser-guided surgery is a way for doctors to fix a lot of brain issues, especially when normal surgery isn't safe or is too hard. It can help people with brain tumors, epilepsy, cancers that don't respond to radiation, and other problems deep in the brain. Some brain tumors are in places that are hard to get to with regular surgery. With laser-guided surgery, doctors can get to those places without hurting the brain around them. It's also a fantastic solution for folks who can't handle open surgery.
The doctor does MRI scans before the surgery to find out exactly where the problem is in the brain and how big it is. Then, the patient is put to sleep with general anesthesia so they don't experience any pain during the treatment. The surgeon cuts a small hole in the skull and puts a thin laser probe through it. Using a computer, the probe gets to the right place every time. The laser gradually warms the region and kills the unhealthy tissue once it is in place. Real-time MRI pictures keep a close eye on the whole procedure. After it's over, the laser is taken away and the cut is closed.
Because laser surgery only needs a minor cut, it takes less time to heal than regular brain surgery. Most people only stay in the hospital for one or two days. There is less discomfort, fewer stitches, and a lesser risk of becoming sick. Most patients feel better soon and can go back to their normal lives in a week. The doctor tells you what medicine to take, how much rest to get, and when to come back for follow-up visits. A lot of patients are shocked at how rapidly they get better.
