A South African musician with a brain tumour plays his guitar while undergoing a successful operation to remove most of the growth.
Musa Manzini’s guitar playing helped guide the medical team in their delicate task while preserving neural pathways, said Dr Rohen Harrichandparsad, one of the neurosurgeons.
Manzini was given local anaesthetic during what doctors call an awake craniotomy at Inkosi Albert Luthuli hospital in Durban.
