Most types of surgery for brain tumors involve temporarily removing a section of the skull, opening the dura (outer membrane that covers the brain), and then removing the tumor and replacing the bone. New surgical techniques include stereotactic biopsy or surgery that use computer guidance to exactly locate and either biopsy or remove the tumor, endoscopic surgery, laser surgery, and surgery under local anesthesia.
