How long does it take to operate on a meningioma in the saddle region?

Meningioma surgery in the saddle region usually takes 3~8 hours to complete. Deep in the base of the skull is the location of the saddle area, where there are abundant nerves and blood vessels, so the operation is relatively complicated and difficult, and the operation time is relatively long; if the patient’s lesion is in the location with fewer nerves and blood vessels, the operation can be completed in about 3 hours; if the lesion is in the location with abundant blood vessels and nerves, the operation usually takes about 8 hours to be completed. During the saddle meningioma surgery, if the operation is a little careless, it may lead to the patient’s vision damage and endocrine function damage, so the doctor’s skill and experience also play a certain influence on the operation time. Patients should choose a large and regular medical institution when undergoing saddle node meningioma surgery to reduce the risks that exist during the operation.
