Recently, a unique surgery was performed in a government hospital in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. This surgery created a stir in the medical world. Actually, a 3.3 x 2.7 cm tumor was found in the left part of the brain of 55-year-old Ananthalakshmi, a resident of Kondapalli. Due to this, she was having serious problems like constant headaches. After this problem came to light, doctors performed surgery on Ananthalakshmi's brain. The video of this surgery is going viral on social media.
During this complex brain surgery, the doctors operated on Ananthalakshmi while keeping her conscious. To ensure that Ananthalakshmi remains calm during the surgery, the doctors showed her a movie of Telugu film actor Junior NTR. This unique treatment is called 'Awake Craniotomy', in which surgery is done by keeping the patient conscious so that his attention remains distracted and mental balance is maintained during the surgery.
According to Telugu Scribe, the surgery lasted for about two and a half hours and was successful. Doctors said that the patient's condition is stable and she can be discharged from the hospital in the next five days. Using this special technique, the doctors successfully removed the patient's tumor. Ananthalakshmi is fully conscious after the surgery.

The video of the surgery has gone viral, to which people have reacted fiercely. One person wrote, “The doctors are amazing.” Another said, “Doctors in government hospitals can also do well with the available resources. Congratulations!” At the same time, some people also shared memes on this.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time that such an awake craniotomy has been used. In January this year, another patient was also operated upon for brain tumor while he was conscious, which was widely discussed. During that time, the patient also played the guitar during the surgery.
