Hello!
Craniopharyngioma is a benign tumor and the most difficult and risky tumor for neurosurgery. Surgical total removal of the tumor may achieve cure, but it can lead to serious complications or even death, and the surgery cannot come to a total removal of the tumor will recur. The main complications are endocrine metabolic disorder, hyperthermia, epilepsy, and delirium. Personal surgical experience exceeds 200 cases, with 94% total tumor resection and less than 2% mortality. If you need, you can come to our hospital and I promise to do my best. Tuesdays are my clinic hours, or go to Ward 35 every day.
Patient: Hello Professor Yuan; I would like to ask what are the sequelae of craniopharyngioma after surgery? I read about it on the internet, children will not grow taller after surgery and have no reproductive function, and what endocrine disorders are referred to. Are these certain to occur after surgery. How much will the surgery and hospitalization cost? I’m sorry. Thank you!!!
Yuan Xianrui, Department of Neurosurgery, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University: It will cost about 40,000 yuan if it goes well.
