A nine-year-old girl Saumya had a brain operation while wide awake and playing mobile games and the piano for six hours to remove a tumour(肿瘤). The video shows Saumya fully awake during the risky operation at the Birla Hospital in the Indian city of Gwalior.

In the video, the young girl can be seen lying on the table in the operating theatre with a large blue sheet covering her head. She is showing off her musical skills as her fingers move across the keys. The camera then turns to the doctors who are operating on her brain behind the scenes.

Dr Abhishek Chauhan, who performed the operation with his team, said the patient played the piano for at least six hours, and also played mobile games. The method is known as an awake brain operation. The patient remains awake during the operation because the tumour could be near parts of the brain that control vision, movement and speech.

“This operation was important and we had heard that we can successfully operate the patient with the use of the musical instrument by diverting her mind,” said Dr Abhishek Chauhan. “So we did the same. As a result, the girl is fine now.”
