Rosenthal Operation

Rosenthal surgery is a surgical procedure that was developed by German surgeon Walter Rosenthal in 1913 and was one of the first successful operations to remove malignant brain tumors.

The operation was named after Walter Rosenthal, who was a famous German surgeon and professor at the University of Vienna. He developed this operation in response to requests from doctors to create more effective treatments for malignant brain tumors.

Rosenthal based his operation on previous brain tumor surgeries, but he made some changes to it that made it more effective and safer. He also conducted many studies and experiments to improve the results of surgery and reduce the risk of complications.

Rosenthal's operation is based on the use of a special instrument called a “coronal hook.” This instrument allows the surgeon to reach into the brain through an opening in the skull and remove the tumor.

One of the advantages of Rosenthal surgery is that it allows the tumor to be completely removed without leaving any residue. This reduces the risk of tumor recurrence and improves the patient's prognosis.

However, like any other operation, Rosenthal surgery has its risks and complications. One of the most common complications is damage to brain tissue during surgery, which can lead to serious consequences for the patient's health.

In addition, the operation can be complex and lengthy, and requires the surgeon to be highly qualified and experienced. Therefore, before undergoing Rosenthal surgery, the patient must undergo a thorough examination and be prepared for possible complications.

Despite these risks, Rosenthal surgery remains one of the most effective methods for removing malignant brain tumors and continues to be used in modern medicine.
