Kieran Lamb"Surgeons in British hospitals are carrying out groundbreaking brain surgery that involves entering the skull through a patient's nose to remove tumours.
Until now, neurosurgeons have had to split the facial skeleton or peel back the scalp and remove the front of the skull to operate, leaving patients in hospital for several days – at risk of developing epilepsy and stroke, and unable to drive for a year. But the new technique means a patient can be back at home within 48 hours and swiftly return to a normal life."
