Therefore, operations in the skull are always carried out with utmost caution by very experienced surgeons, supported by state-of-the-art technology, performing computer-controlled interventions with neurological navigation. For some specific tumours, wakeful surgery and neurological monitoring are applied. Specifically for pituitary adenomas, endoscopic surgery techniques are used. These advanced techniques considerably limit the risks during brain surgery.
