Pioneering eyebrow surgery removes large brain tumours

Doreen Adams, 75, from Aberdeen, previously had a craniotomy to remove a tumour.

This is the removal of part of the skull to expose the brain

She has now had the new surgery, and described the difference as “night and day” between the two surgeries.

“You hear of these things, but no – going through your eyebrow? No – you just can’t think,” she told BBC Scotland News.

“My tumour was like a tennis ball – how can you get that out of small here.

“In two days this man – this wonderful young man – is going to give me my life back.

“And that’s exactly what he’s gone and done.”
