Abstract

This study aims to provide insights into the current advancements in Awake Craniotomy procedures, with a focus on Asia. Additionally, it seeks to evaluate the advantages of Awake Craniotomy over traditional methods, such as burr holes, in the treatment of brain tumors.

A systematic review of available data on craniotomies is presented, with only a few exceptions. Given the scarcity of data regarding awake craniotomies in Pakistan, assumptions were made regarding the initial practices. The search encompassed all relevant articles on Awake Craniotomy and anesthesia in Awake Craniotomy.
