Eyebrow Keyhole Technique: Landmark Innovative Surgery by Apollo Neurosurgeons for Insular Brain Tumor Removal
Join us for the Apollo Innovation Series as we explore the revolutionary supraorbital “eyebrow” craniotomy, an innovative approach developed by the neurosurgeons at Apollo Cancer Centre, Chennai. In this session, Dr. Hrishikesh Sarkar will share, for the first time, insights into the revolutionary eyebrow keyhole approach used to treat deeply seated insular brain tumors. This minimally invasive technique marks a significant advancement in the field of neurosurgery and promises to enhance patient outcomes. This minimally invasive technique allows surgeons to access brain tumors through a small incision hidden within the eyebrow line, significantly reducing recovery time, minimizing scarring, and decreasing the risk of complications compared to traditional craniotomies. With excellent cosmetic outcomes and less postoperative pain, this method represents a significant advancement in neurosurgery, combining precision with enhanced patient comfort. Learn how this groundbreaking technique is transforming brain tumor surgery and improving patient care

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
Sleep Apnea and Daytime Fatigue
Sleep Disorder Breathing is a term for a group of conditions with abnormal breathing patterns during sleep. This affects everyday functioning and well being.There are few types of SDB which include upper airways resistance, hypopnea, apnea, catathrenia and heavy snoring. People suffering with SDB can have daytime symptoms that result in poor sleep also. There can also be sleepiness, depressed mood, irritability and cognitive dysfunction.
