This procedure is designed for exophytic tumors of the brainstem/medulla oblongata. The surgery aims to safely remove the exophytic tumor component while preserving critical neurological structures. A posterior approach with cervical laminectomy allows optimal exposure, and duraplasty with galeal graft is performed for safe reconstruction. Continuous neurophysiological monitoring (EP & MEP) and advanced microsurgical techniques enhance surgical precision and safety. Postoperative ICU monitoring and structured inpatient care support recovery after this complex brainstem surgery.
