Brain tumor removal is one of the most complex procedures in neurosurgery. This is because the brain is the central control system for all body functions, including movement, speech, memory, and emotions.
Even the slightest error during surgery can have a significant impact on a patient’s quality of life. Therefore, precision is the most critical factor in every brain tumor surgery.

Neuronavigation: Modern Technology for Safer Brain Surgery
To enhance surgical accuracy, many neurosurgeons now rely on neuronavigation technology. This tool maps the tumor’s position in detail both before and during surgery.
Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital has introduced advanced real-time neuronavigation technology, used by one of Indonesia’s leading neurosurgeons, Dr. dr. Mardjono Tjahjadi, Sp.BS, Subsp. N-Vas, F. N-Onk, PhD, FICS, IFAANS, widely known as Dr. Joy.
In practice, Dr. Joy has successfully used neuronavigation to remove a large brain tumor, measuring up to 8 cm, from a patient at Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital.
With the assistance of this technology, he was able to comprehensively map the tumor—from its frontal to lateral boundaries—making the surgical procedure safer and more accurate.
According to Dr. Joy, neuronavigation is essential in improving surgical success rates while reducing the risk of complications in brain surgery.
Advantages and Benefits of Neuronavigation in Brain Surgery
The presence of neuronavigation offers many benefits for both patients and neurosurgeons, such as:
- Accurate mapping – precisely identifies the size and location of the tumor, increasing the chances of complete removal.
- Protection of healthy tissue – helps preserve brain function by clearly defining surgical boundaries.
- Efficiency – surgeries can be performed faster, with greater precision and higher safety.
Dr. Joy: A Neurosurgeon with a MURI Record
Dr. Joy is widely recognized as one of Indonesia’s leading neurosurgeons. He holds a MURI (Indonesian World Record Museum) record as the fastest graduate of a Doctoral Program in Medicine at the University of Helsinki, Finland, completing it in only 18 months and 12 days.
In Finland, Dr. Joy specialized in brain aneurysms and had the opportunity to study directly under Prof. Juha Hernesniemi, a world-renowned figure in neurosurgery.
With this international expertise, Dr. Joy is now capable of performing various modern neurosurgical procedures, including:
- Microvascular Decompression (MVD) – to treat hemifacial spasm.
- Awake Brain Surgery – brain surgery performed while the patient remains awake to preserve critical nerve functions.
- Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) – detailed imaging to assess brain blood vessels.
- Microsurgery – high-precision surgery using an operating microscope.
