UK-first operation removes previously inoperable tumour

  • Surgeons from Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust successfully removed a meningioma from Ruvimbo Kaviya using a keyhole surgery technique through her eye socket, marking the first surgery of its kind in the UK.
  • The surgery, known as an endoscopic trans-orbital approach, took three hours, and Ms. Kaviya was able to walk later the same day after the operation.
  • Neurosurgeon Mr. Asim Sheikh stated that this minimally invasive technique reduces recovery time and complications compared to traditional methods, which often press on the brain.
  • Ms. Kaviya expressed relief after the surgery, stating she was home in days and was motivated by the need to alleviate severe headaches caused by the tumour.
