Microscopic Tumor Excision
Book Your Consultation
Microscopic tumor excision, also known as microscopically controlled or micrographic surgery, is a staged procedure in which Dr. Aneel Kumar P removes a thin layer of tumor tissue and examines it under a microscope immediately before deciding whether further tissue needs to be removed.
This layer-by-layer mapping continues until the margins are completely clear of tumor cells, helping achieve a high cure rate while preserving as much surrounding healthy tissue as possible.
- Real-time microscopic margin assessment
- Performed under local anesthesia in most cases
- Same-day tumor removal and confirmation
- Real-time microscopic margin assessment
Comprehensive, precision-focused brain tumor treatments combining advanced technology, surgical expertise, and personalized care for safer outcomes.
Dr. Aneel Kumar P uses advanced imaging to help the surgical team accurately identify the target and safely obtain tissue for laboratory examination.
Dr. Aneel Kumar P provides precise, specialized care for tumor removal, using microscopic examination to guide each stage of treatment. His approach focuses on complete tumor clearance while preserving as much healthy surrounding tissue as possible.
The area is numbed with local anesthesia, so the procedure itself is generally painless. Mild soreness afterward is normal and manageable with standard pain relief.
Most procedures are completed in a single visit, though total time varies depending on how many tissue layers need to be examined before margins are clear
Some scarring is expected with any excision. Because only tumor-involved tissue is removed, scars are typically smaller than with standard wide excision.
Margins are examined in real time during the procedure itself, so clearance is typically confirmed the same day.
Most patients resume normal activities within a few days. Full healing of the surgical site can take a few weeks depending on size and location.
