When Soumya was brought to the hospital by her parents for treatment, doctors said that it would be difficult to perform a major surgery on her as there was a possibility of damage to the other nerves of her brain.
Hence, doctors decided that her surgery will be done in an 'Awake Craniotomy' method.
Soumya enjoys playing the synthesizer and hence, doctors asked her to play the musical keyboard during the surgery. Local anesthesia was given only in the part of her head where the surgery was performed.
The surgery lasted for about two hours and the tumor was successfully removed. Doctors kept Soumya under observation for some time and she was discharged from the hospital on Saturday evening.
