Brain Tumor Surgery at Hospital Mae de Deus

The recovery period is different for each person, depending on the location of the tumor, areas of the brain affected by surgery, your age, and your general health. You may be able to return to work within four to six weeks if your job is not physically demanding and it may take around three months until you can resume your normal activities, including exercises and heavy lifting. 

Brain tumor surgery is generally safe and effective. However, the success rate depends highly on several factors, including your age, the type of tumor, the stage of the tumor, and your overall health. The surgery carries some side effects and risks, including infection and bleeding. Also, depending on which part of your brain where the tumor is located, it has the risk of vision loss, difficulty with speech, loss of memory, stroke, weak muscles, seizure, and impaired balance and coordination.
