Navigation and a surgical microscope guide the surgeon, and some operations are done with the patient awake to protect speech and movement. The tissue is examined to plan further treatment.
People with brain tumours, whether cancerous or not, such as gliomas, meningiomas, pituitary tumours and tumours that have spread to the brain.
Every patient gets their own estimate, in writing, from the hospital. These are the things that move it.
Room types, equipment and running costs differ from one hospital to the next.
A surgeon's fee follows their experience and how complex the operation is.
Keyhole or robotic surgery, and the make of any implant, can change the price.
Other conditions, earlier treatment and the tests you need before treatment all count.
Days in hospital, any time in intensive care and the weeks you spend recovering in India.
Physiotherapy, medicines to take home and follow-up visits are added only if your doctor asks for them.
The estimate is not final until the doctor has examined you in India. If anything changes, we explain it before you agree to it.
