Season 3: Episode 1: Brain Surgery

Brain surgery can sound terrifying — after all, the brain controls everything from movement to memory. But today’s neurosurgeons perform these procedures with incredible precision.

In this episode of Tumor Minutes, Netra explains why brain surgery is performed, how doctors plan operations using MRI and brain mapping, what happens during a craniotomy, and why some patients are awake during surgery. We also explore the technology that helps surgeons navigate the brain safely.

Because even the most complex organ in the human body can be treated with the right science, skill, and planning.
