News.com is reporting that a 77 year old man is expected to recount today about his experience being the first patient to undergo a “pioneering procedure” in April which he was conscious during brain surgery in order to remove a life-threatening venous aneurysm behind his right eye.
The surgery, believed to be the first of it’s kind, was conducted at the Canberra Hospital by a team led by Dr Vini Khurana, a specialist neurosurgeon and the author of brain-aneurysm.com.
Mr Khurana said the patient was “awake and interactive” so doctors could continually assess his vision and make sure the surgery was not altering it.
