10-Year-Old Dhaka Boy Undergoes Endoscopic Brain Tumor Removal
A 10-year-old boy from Dhaka had a brain tumor removed using a special camera called an endoscope.
The tumor was blocking the flow of fluid in his brain, so the doctors used the blocked area as a path to remove the tumor.
This method is less invasive and helps the patient recover faster.
The doctors inserted the endoscope through a small hole in the brain, which caused less damage and made the recovery quicker.
The team included a neurosurgeon, a physician assistant, and an anesthetist.

The recovery was faster due to the minimally invasive nature of the endoscopic approach.
The surgical team included neurosurgeon Amitabha Chanda, neurosurgeon Md Sarwar, physician assistant Asif Rahman, and anesthetist Kallol Deb.
