The story of an Italian woman who made a brain surgery in her mind and made a snack is a topic.

On the 10th of the local time, foreign media, such as CBS News in the United States, introduced a story of a 60-year-old patient who made a'special snack' with 90 olives during brain tumor removal surgery.

The patient made this assortment of'Ascoli-style olives', an Italian Marche region. How to make is simple. First, we take out the seeds in the olives, and then fill it with cows made of meat and cheese. Roll the olives into the breadcrumbs and dress them up to complete.

The patient who made this snack for the rest of his life filled the olives with quick hands and rolled them into breadcrumbs. In less than an hour, the patient completed 90'ascoli-like olives', and doctors opened the patient's head and carefully removed the tumor in the left temporal lobe.


Roberto Trignani, a neurosurgeon at the Ancona Hospital in Marche, who has performed the surgery, has successfully led the surgery over 60 times in the past five years. "When patients perform a variety of activities during surgery, the part of the brain, which is the surgical site, is activated, and the progress can be observed more clearly," said Triniani.

In the case of a patient who made an olive snack, the part of the brain that controlled the movement of the left side of the body had to be closely monitored, so the patient was able to move his hand quickly to make the part function. There were also patients who performed surgery on the same principle as watching cartoons, singing, and playing violin.

Activities performed during surgery will be decided by the medical staff to be the most comfortable and familiar to the patient. "We have teamed up with anesthesiologists and psychotherapists to talk to patients a few weeks before surgery. When the patient is comfortable, the results are better."
