    A musician Christian Nolen hit the right note with surgeons — by strumming his guitar while they operated to remove a brain tumour.

    The doctors needed to monitor his dexterity as the tumour was near a part of the brain that controls hand movement.,

    Nolen remained awake  at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in Miami, Florida, USA, to use his fingers.

    Playing his instrument was the best way to do that. 

    Lead surgeon Dr Ricardo Komotar explained:” Christian has a primary brain tumour. It’s called a glioma. It was in a difficult location.

    “ It was involving what’s called the hand/motor area, the part of the brain that controls hand function. 

    “Without treatment this tumour would have grown into that hand area and he would have lost the ability eventually to use that hand.

    “The only way to safely remove that tumour is via an awake craniotomy.

    “ Christian’s recovery has been remarkable. He went home better than he was before the surgery”

    Nolen remained awake  at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in Miami, Florida, USA, to use his fingers.

    Playing his instrument was the best way to do that. 

    Lead surgeon Dr Ricardo Komotar explained:” Christian has a primary brain tumour. It’s called a glioma. It was in a difficult location.

    “ It was involving what’s called the hand/motor area, the part of the brain that controls hand function. 

    “Without treatment this tumour would have grown into that hand area and he would have lost the ability eventually to use that hand.

    “The only way to safely remove that tumour is via an awake craniotomy.

    “ Christian’s recovery has been remarkable. He went home better than he was before the surgery”

    A musician Christian Nolen hit the right note with surgeons — by strumming his guitar while they operated to remove a brain tumour.

    The doctors needed to monitor his dexterity as the tumour was near a part of the brain that controls hand movement.,

    Nolen remained awake  at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in Miami, Florida, USA, to use his fingers.

    Playing his instrument was the best way to do that.
