Madelunga Operation

Madelung surgery (o.w. madelung), also known as Madelung's operation, is a surgical procedure that is used to treat brain tumors. It was developed by German neurosurgeon Otto Madelung in 1927 and was one of the first successful operations to remove brain tumors using a microscope.

Madelunga surgery involves removing the tumor using microsurgical instruments that allow precise removal of the tumor while minimizing damage to nearby tissue. The operation is performed through a small incision in the skull, which avoids major damage and reduces the risk of complications.

After surgery, the patient usually remains in the hospital for several days or weeks to ensure that the tumor is successfully removed and there are no complications. In some cases, additional treatment such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy may be needed to help destroy remaining cancer cells.

Although madelunga surgery is a very complex and risky operation, it may be the only way to treat some types of brain tumors, such as gliomas. However, before performing the operation, it is necessary to carefully assess the patient’s condition and possible risks.

Overall, madelunga surgery remains one of the most effective treatments for brain tumors and allows many patients to return to normal life after successful tumor removal.
