Most people will have an operation in their lifetime, but very few of us know what happens once we have been put to sleep. This groundbreaking series returns behind the closed doors of the operating theatres of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham to reveal what goes on during an extraordinary range of procedures that test the limits of what is scientifically possible.In this first episode, one of the QE's top consultant neurosurgeons, Ismail Ughratdar, performs brain surgery on 20-year-old Cameron. In order for Ismail to remove as much of Cameron's tumour as possible, during the procedure Cameron will have to be awake and talking. It is an operation where even the smallest mistake can mean the difference between success and catastrophic failure.Cameron had just finished training as an army medic when a tumour the size of a ping pong ball was discovered in his left frontal lobe.
