Abstract:
The presentation of various brain tumors and the role of tumor and patient factors in selecting and planning surgery are discussed. There are practical and theoretical rationales for operating on a tumor that affect the decision for a limited or aggressive surgical approach. A general outline of the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care of a patient undergoing a brain tumor operation is presented.
