A member asked:
Might have to have surgery on pineal gland tumor what are some of the risks. is it safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: In experienced hands pineal region tumors can usually be performed successfully without too high a risk. It is brain surgery so it does come with risks to life and limb but complication rates are nott exceedingly high. One has to understand that serious medical issues usually don't have simple or risk free treatments.
