Man plays guitar during brain surgery
A South African musician made headlines over the past week for playing the guitar during his brain surgery. Musa Manzini, a jazz musician, was kept awake during the six-hour operation at Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital in Durban.
According to the doctors, the decision to keep him awake and make him play his guitar was to preserve and restore his finger movements.
The medical technique, known as “awake craniotomy,” helps doctors in delicate brain operations.
“It increased the margin of safety for us, in that we could have real-time feedback on what we were doing,” said Dr Rohen Harrichandparsad, one of the neurosurgeons.
The procedure was captured on video, which showed Manzini strumming away as the doctors worked on him.
