More Precise Brain Tumor Surgery with Neuronavigation at RS Mandaya Puri
Brain tumor surgery is one of the most complex procedures in neurosurgery. The brain serves as the control center for all bodily functions—including movement, speech, memory, and emotions. Even the slightest error during surgery can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life. That is why precision plays a vital role in every brain tumor operation.
One of the modern technologies increasingly used to boost surgical accuracy is Neuronavigation. This technology enables neurosurgeons to map brain tumors with high precision, both before and during surgery.
RS Mandaya Royal Puri provides real-time Neuronavigation technology to map brain tumors. Dr. Joy applied this system to remove an 8 cm brain tumor from a patient. According to him, this technology helps determine the exact tumor location while clearly defining its boundaries—from the anterior to lateral margins—making surgery far more accurate.
Advantages of Neuronavigation in Brain Tumor Surgery
Neuronavigation offers significant benefits for both doctors and patients, including:
- High accuracy – precisely determines the tumor’s size and location, increasing the chance of complete removal.
- Enhanced safety – provides surgical boundary guidance to protect healthy brain tissue.
- Efficiency – shortens surgical time while improving overall safety.
With this technology, brain tumor surgery becomes more precise, safer, and more effective.
Profile of Dr. Joy – Neurosurgeon with Expertise in Neuronavigation
Dr. Joy is recognized as one of Indonesia’s most accomplished neurosurgeons. He holds a MURI record as the fastest graduate of a doctoral (PhD) program in Medicine at the University of Helsinki, Finland, completing it in just 18 months and 12 days.
During his studies in Finland, Dr. Joy specialized in brain aneurysms and trained directly under world-renowned neurosurgeon Prof. Juha Hernesniemi.
With this international background, Dr. Joy has mastered various modern neurosurgical techniques, including:
- Microvascular Decompression (MVD) – for treating hemifacial spasm
- Awake Brain Surgery – performing brain surgery while the patient remains conscious to preserve vital functions
- Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) – detailed imaging of brain blood vessels
- Microsurgery – high-precision surgical techniques using an operating microscope
By combining clinical expertise, academic achievements, and advanced medical technology, Dr. Joy has become one of the most trusted neurosurgeons in handling complex brain cases.
