MICROSURGERY

Microsurgery involves the use of a highpowered
microscope or other means of visual
magnification during surgery, and tiny surgical
tools that enable the neurosurgeon to perform
exceptionally delicate operations. Microsurgery
is used where the structures in the brain are
very small and precise movement is crucial.
This technique may be helpful in removing
tumor wrapped around blood vessels or nerves,
or along the bony ridges of the skull base.
