Surgical treatment of brain tumors requires careful selection of the anesthesia method, taking into account tumor location, the degree of intracranial hypertension, the patient’s neurological status, and the extent of the surgical intervention. Modern techniques include total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), inhalation anesthesia, combined techniques, as well as awake craniotomy. This article analyzes current approaches to anesthetic management, their advantages and limitations, and their impact on intraoperative and postoperative outcomes.
