Meningiomas are tumors that originate from the meninges—the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. While many meningiomas are benign and grow slowly, their location can significantly impact neurological function. Some individuals may live symptom-free for years, while others may face serious complications requiring timely Meningioma Resection. In either case, expert diagnosis and treatment are critical.
Meningiomas are tumors that develop from the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Though often benign and slow-growing, their location can result in a range of neurological symptoms. Some individuals experience subtle signs over time, while others face more aggressive complications requiring specialized attention.
Not every meningioma needs to be removed immediately. However, surgery may be advised if the tumor causes pressure on nearby brain tissue, leads to seizures, or impacts essential functions like vision, balance, or memory. In such cases, surgical removal becomes an important step toward improving quality of life.
At Apollo Hospitals, Bangalore, Dr. Ravi Mohan Rao leads the neurosurgical team with extensive experience in managing brain tumors. Known for his precision and patient-focused approach, Dr. Rao combines clinical expertise with cutting-edge surgical techniques to offer the best possible outcomes for those diagnosed with meningiomas.
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. Dr. Rao uses high-resolution imaging techniques such as MRI and CT scans to assess the tumor’s size, location, and proximity to vital brain structures. This thorough evaluation helps determine whether surgery is required and what approach would be safest and most effective.
No two cases are the same. Dr. Ravi Mohan Rao evaluates several factors—including the tumor’s behavior, the patient’s general health, and neurological condition—before recommending a treatment strategy. The goal is to ensure maximum tumor control while preserving the patient’s brain function and overall well-being.
When surgery is the best course of action, Dr. Rao performs the procedure with a focus on safety, accuracy, and recovery. He is skilled in both conventional and less invasive surgical methods, choosing the one most suited to the patient’s condition. During the procedure, advanced tools like neuro-navigation help guide the operation with pinpoint accuracy.
For appropriate candidates, minimally invasive surgery can offer a quicker recovery and reduced post-operative discomfort. These approaches require smaller incisions and often lead to shorter hospital stays while still achieving the primary goal—removing or reducing the tumor safely.
Following surgery, patients may require further support, including radiation therapy in cases where the tumor cannot be fully removed. Dr. Ravi Mohan Rao coordinates with radiation specialists and rehabilitation experts to ensure patients continue to recover effectively and maintain a high quality of life.
Beyond medical expertise, Dr. Rao and his team emphasize compassion and communication. Patients receive ongoing guidance and emotional support, with regular follow-ups and monitoring to detect any signs of recurrence early.
