Leeds surgeons first to use new type of surgery that gives hope to patients whose cancers were previously inoperable
Medics have performed a UK-first operation to remove a previously inoperable brain tumour using keyhole surgery through a patient’s eye socket.
Ruvimbo Kaviya, 40, became the first person in the UK to have a brain tumour removed from the cavernous sinus, the space beneath the brain and behind the eyes, via the pioneering new type of surgery.
