Surgeon: Dr. Eleanor Vance
Additional surgeon: Dr. Marcus Thorne
Assistant: Nurse Rachel Green
Anaesthesiologist: Dr. Alan Peterson
Diagnosis: Brain tumour, unspecified (C71.9)
Procedure: Craniotomy for tumour resection
Rule J Motivation:
1. Patient experiencing progressive neurological deficits including hemiparesis and speech difficulties.
2. Imaging reveals rapidly growing lesion causing significant mass effect.
3. Conservative management has failed to halt symptom progression.
Instrumentation: High-speed drill, CUSA Excel+ Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator, various micro-dissectors, bipolar cautery, Mayfield head clamp.
Prophylactic antibiotics: Cefazolin 2g IV
Start time: 08:30 AM
End time: 01:45 PM
Duration of surgery: 315 minutes
Estimated blood loss: 350 ml
Cell Saver: 150 ml reinfused
Procedural steps:
1. Patient positioned supine with head in Mayfield clamp, secured and prepped.
2. curvilinear incision made in the right temporoparietal region.
3. Craniotomy performed with high-speed drill and bone flap elevated.
4. Dura incised in a cruciate fashion, reflected.
5. Intraoperative neuronavigation used to locate tumour boundaries.
6. Tumour identified and debulked using CUSA, followed by micro-dissection and bipolar cautery to achieve gross total resection.
7. Haemostasis secured.
8. Dura closed with 4-0 Nurolon sutures.
9. Bone flap replaced and secured with titanium plates and screws.
10. Muscle and fascia closed in layers, skin closed with staples.
Complications: None reported intraoperatively.
Postoperatively: Patient extubated in theatre, responsive to commands. Transferred to Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for close monitoring. Postoperative CT scan ordered to assess for any residual tumour or complications. Instructions include hourly neurological observations, strict fluid balance, and pain management with PCA.

(For each section, only include if explicitly mentioned in transcript or context, else omit section entirely. Never come up with your own patient details, assessment, plan, interventions, evaluation, or next steps—use only the transcript, contextual notes, or clinical note as reference for all information. If any information related to a placeholder has not been explicitly mentioned, do not state that in the output; simply leave the relevant placeholder or section out entirely. Use as many lines, paragraphs, or bullet points as needed to capture all relevant information from the transcript.)
