In a groundbreaking medical achievement, a team of renowned neurosurgeons at Fortis Private Hospital, Delhi, expertly removed a rare black brain tumor from the brain of a 72-year-old woman, ensuring her safe recovery. The intricate operation took place at the hospital's Shalimar Bagh branch on Friday.

Headed by Dr. Sonal Gupta, Senior Director and Head of Neurosurgery, the medical team accomplished the surgery in two stages due to the tumor's complex nature and location.
