Brain and Cranial Surgery in Lahore
Brain and cranial surgery in Lahore with Dr. Salman Falak covers brain tumours, pituitary tumours and trigeminal neuralgia. This work combines open surgery through the skull with endoscopic surgery through the nose, chosen by where the problem sits. Its goal each time is to relieve pressure, protect function and reach a clear diagnosis after an honest talk about risks.
What Dr. Salman Falak operates on
How a brain operation is decided
Brain surgery is never rushed into. The MRI, often with contrast, is reviewed against the symptoms, and the first question is whether an operation helps more than it risks. For many tumours the answer is yes, because removing or reducing the tumour relieves pressure and gives the pathologist tissue to name it, which guides everything that follows. For pituitary tumours the route is through the nose, so there is no cut on the face or skull. For trigeminal neuralgia, surgery is considered only after medicine has been properly tried.
What to expect around the operation
Patients are admitted to a Lahore hospital, usually the day before surgery, and spend the first night after the operation under close observation before moving to the ward. The length of stay depends on the operation and is explained beforehand. Families receive the biopsy report and the plan for further treatment at a follow-up visit, and patients from other cities can do later follow-ups by video.

Questions patients ask
Is brain tumour surgery successful?
Success depends on the type and position of the tumour, the patient's health and what the operation is meant to achieve, which may be complete removal, partial removal to relieve pressure, or a biopsy. Dr. Salman Falak explains the realistic aim for your scan before surgery, without promising what the pathology has not yet confirmed.
Is pituitary tumour surgery a major operation?
It is brain surgery, but the endoscopic approach through the nose avoids opening the skull, and most patients are up and about within a day or two. Hormone and vision checks continue after surgery, and the stay and recovery are explained at the consultation.
Can trigeminal neuralgia be cured permanently?
Medicine controls the pain for many people, and surgery can give long relief when medicine fails, but no treatment can promise that the pain will never return. The choice of procedure, and its benefits and risks, are discussed once the MRI has been reviewed.
