WATCH | MUSICIAN PLAYS GUITAR WHILE UNDERGOING SURGERY TO REMOVE TUMOUR FROM BRAIN

A South African Jazz musician gave a performance on his operation bed while he was undergoing surgery to remove a tumour from his brain.

According to reports,  during the six hour surgery, Musa Manzini was kept awake to avoid paralysis or damage to any part of the brain. By keeping him awake, the team of doctors located the areas of the brain that were lazy while he played the guitar.

“In this way, we can test regions of the brain before they are removed. This allows for increased removal of a tumour while minimising damage to the brain,” said Dr Enicker.

The operation was a success and Manzini is on the road to recovery. He will be back on stage very soon.
