AI, VR transforming brain tumour surgeries in Hyderabad

Brain tumours are no longer a diagnosis that evokes fear, as modern advancements such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have made it possible for neurosurgeons not only to remove tumours but also to preserve patients’ vital faculties, including speech, memory, movement, cognition and overall quality of life.

On the occasion of World Brain Tumour Day, observed every year on June 8, senior neurosurgeons in Hyderabad pointed out that the future of neurosurgery



relies heavily on early detection and treatment through immersive technology and real-time guidance.

Even before making a single incision, neurosurgeons now use advanced VR headsets to step inside three-dimensional, colour-coded reconstructions of a patient’s brain and map out critical neural pathways. In the operating room, using sophisticated robotic navigation systems and specialised microscopes, specialists can cross-reference real-time anatomy with high-definition 3D digital models.
