What the procedure involves.
Microsurgical resection of pediatric brain tumors including medulloblastoma, craniopharyngioma, pilocytic astrocytoma, and ependymoma using advanced neuronavigation, intraoperative MRI, and fluorescence-guided surgery. China's pediatric neurosurgery centers at institutions like Beijing Tiantan Hospital and Huashan Hospital achieve gross total resection rates comparable to leading international centers, with integrated access to proton therapy and chemotherapy for comprehensive oncological care.
Step by step.
Advanced Neuroimaging & Planning
High-resolution MRI with perfusion/spectroscopy, functional MRI, DTI tractography, and 3D surgical simulation
Multidisciplinary Tumor Board
Case review by pediatric neurosurgeon, neuro-oncologist, radiation oncologist, and neuroradiologist for optimal treatment strategy
Microsurgical Tumor Resection
Craniotomy with neuronavigation, intraoperative ultrasound/MRI, fluorescence guidance, and neurophysiological monitoring
Post-operative Care & Adjuvant Therapy
ICU monitoring, early neurological rehabilitation, and planning for chemotherapy or proton therapy if indicated
- Intraoperative MRI and fluorescence maximize safe resection
- Access to proton therapy for radiation-sensitive pediatric tumors
- High-volume neurosurgery centers with pediatric subspecialty expertise
- Integrated multidisciplinary oncology care at major savings
- Neurological deficits depending on tumor location
- Risk of hemorrhage, infection, and hydrocephalus post-operatively
- Some tumors may recur requiring additional treatment
- Long-term neurocognitive effects of surgery and adjuvant therapy
