HANOI: The Vietnam-Germany Friendship Hospital has successfully performed two endoscopic brain tumour removals through the eyebrow arch, marking the first successful application of this technique in Vietnam.

Previously, such cases required a 20-25cm craniotomy, whereas this new method requires only a 2-3 cm incision. Its success paves the way for minimally invasive neurosurgery, offering safer and more effective treatment options for patients in Vietnam.
