"Teacher Liu, we did another MRI yesterday, and it was clearer. Director Xiao thinks the tumor is too large and the infection is quite severe, necessitating a craniotomy," Xu Yino said.
"However, craniotomy is more expensive. The family wonders if it could be removed via the transnasal approach. Plus, the patient's condition is complicated, requiring ICU observation post-surgery."
