Brain tumors—ranging from benign meningiomas and pituitary adenomas to complex gliomas—can significantly impact cognitive and motor functions. Dr. Karmarkar utilizes high-magnification surgical microscopes and stereotactic neuronavigation to safely remove lesions while protecting surrounding healthy brain pathways.
Spinal cord tumors, whether intramedullary, extramedullary, or metastatic, often present with progressive pain, numbness, or limb weakness. Microsurgical decompression and tumor resection help relieve pressure on the spinal cord and stabilize the spinal column, restoring critical motor control and relieving chronic discomfort.
