You will be under general anesthesia. The surgeon will make an incision in the skull to remove the tumor, followed by closing and recovery.

A Urine Pregnancy Test (UPT) detects the presence of the hormone hCG in a woman’s urine to confirm pregnancy.

You can take a UPT if you have missed your period or are experiencing early pregnancy symptoms.

The UPT is highly accurate when performed correctly and can detect pregnancy within a few days of a missed period.

The test involves collecting a urine sample and using a test strip or device to detect hCG levels.

If your UPT result is positive, contact your healthcare provider to discuss the next steps and begin prenatal care.

Risks include infection, bleeding, and the possibility of the fistula not maturing properly. Our surgeons take precautions to minimize these risks.
