Chandigarh, August 14,2025:- A 44-year-old woman from Sangrur got a new lease of life after an orange-sized brain tumor of 6x5x4 cm size was removed successfully from her brain at Max Hospital, Mohali recently. The tumor was located on the left side of the brain in the region responsible for critical functions like movement, memory, thinking, and sensation.
Dr. Sachin Bindal, senior neurosurgeon at Max said that through a complex neurosurgical procedure using a highly specialised hi-tech NeuroNavigation Machine, the tumor was completely removed.
NeuroNavigation helps surgeons remove tumors with precision, much like Google Maps guides you to the right location.
Baljeet Kaur was brought to Max in a critical state, and her scans revealed a large tumor diagnosed as a calcified meningioma- a brain tumor characterized by calcium deposits within the tumor. It was causing significant pressure, resulting in right-side paralysis, informed Dr. Bindal.
Speaking about the case, Dr. Sachin Bindal, Associate Director, Neurosurgery at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali, said that this was a high-risk case located at a very critical area of the brain. Our primary objective was to remove the tumor while preserving essential brain functions. The surgery required a multidisciplinary approach, meticulous planning, and precise execution using the NeuroNavigation mechanism to ensure complete excision of the tumor and minimise the risk of complications.
He asserted that NeuroNavigation not only enhances precision but also allows tumor removal through small incisions, enabling early recovery.
Further explaining the surgery, Dr. Bindal said that the patient underwent a minimally invasive approach where a small section of the skull directly over the tumor was removed, and the tumor was excised precisely. The surgery lasted two hours, and the patient was discharged on the third day post-surgery in stable condition. The patient has recovered fully with no residual paralysis.
