WOW!! A Seven-Member Team Of Ghanaian Doctors Has Performed The First-Ever Brain Surgery Without Cutting The Skull
Posted by E.L.E.X on April 10 2019 under News
The minimally invasive brain surgery is the technique by which health workers safely remove the brain and skull-base tumors through smaller and more precise openings that minimize collateral damage; that is, injury or other damage inflicted on an unintended target such as blood vessels and nerves.
Technically known as ‘Endovascular brain aneurysm coiling’ (because there is no need to cut into the skull to do the surgery), the technique passes a tube (catheter) through the groin (junctional area between the abdomen and the thigh on either side of the pubic bone) up into the artery containing the brain aneurysm, a process known as endovascular coiling or coil embolisation.
The two-hour surgery was performed with modern equipment and computer software at the Euracare Advanced Diagnostic and Heart Centre, a private health facility in Accra.
An interventional radiologist, Dr Benjamin Dabo Sarkodie, who is also the Head of Radiology at Euracare, led the team.
