Meningioma Treatment: Surgery
Meningioma Surgery
Many meningiomas can be completely removed with surgery. This results in a cure. Some tumors are deeply embedded in the brain and surrounded by vital structures or blood vessels. This makes some tumors impossible to remove without damaging other parts of the brain.

Brain surgery complications include:
  • Bleeding
  • Infection
  • Nerve damage
  • Stroke
