How long does it take to recover completely from meningioma surgery



If there is no complication after meningioma surgery, normal daily activities can be resumed after 1~3 months of full recuperation, but regular review is needed to make sure the condition is stable.

Surgery is the first choice of treatment for meningioma, most patients can be cured by reliable surgical resection, and can resume normal daily activities after 1~3 months of full recuperation. If the tumor is located on the surface of dura mater and is easy to be touched, it can be permanently cured after surgical treatment, and there is no need for other treatments after surgery.

If the tumor is associated with important nerves and blood vessels, adjuvant radiation therapy is needed to control the tumor development after surgery. Generally, the post-surgery checkup is once a year for 3~5 years, and then the frequency of checkup can be gradually reduced according to the condition of the tumor and medical advice.

If brain tissue damage occurs after meningioma surgery, the patient should take nerve-nourishing drugs, such as methylcobalamin, according to the doctor’s instruction, which can promote the recovery of damaged brain tissue. If the damage of brain tissue is more serious and there are sequelae such as dysfunction, it will be very difficult to recover. In addition to cooperating with doctors for treatment, we should also actively do rehabilitation exercise to improve dysfunction and promote recovery.
