Laughter Helps Keep Patients Calm During Brain Surgery
Laughter might be the best medicine for brain surgery. Laughter is caused by electrical stimulation of the cingulum bundle in the brain followed by a sense of happiness and calmness in patients undergoing brain surgery.

‘First in India, PGI-Chandigarh starts 3D exoscope surgery. A neurosurgeons team successfully operated upon two patients with a brain tumor and orbital mass using this latest technology.
’
This technology is one of the latest advances in minimally invasive brain and spine surgery. The 3D visualization is guided by scope from outside, compared to the usual 2D visualization from inside in the endoscope. Many centers in India have 2D horoscopes, but the 3D exoscope in the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research is the first in India.
This helps deal with problems on the surface of the brain, spine, and orbit. Compared to a microscope, the system is lighter, occupies less operating room space, and is ergonomically better, a PGI statement said.
