French surgeons destroy brain tumour on conscious patient

I believe that it is quite usual for brain surgery to be practised on conscious patients - it enables the surgeon to receive feedback from patients about their reactions to the procedures being performed.

Also, a French first? I only caught the end of the programme, but wasn't Robert Winston observing something similar in the USA a couple of weeks ago? I would guess that similar procedures are being undertaken in many parts of the world.
