They played instruments during brain surgery. Now, they’re performing together. [Video]

Guitarist Robert Alvarez underwent an awake craniotomy at MD Anderson and over 27 million YouTube viewers took notice. One of them was drummer Adrian Rivas. Robert’s video inspired Adrian to agree to a similar surgery, also performed by our Dr. Sujit Prabhu. Both patients played instruments during their surgeries, and both surgeries were successful. Now, they’re performing together for the first time for a very special audience, their care team. #Music #Neurosurgery #Surgery #MDAndersonCancerCenter #MDAnderson #EndCancer
