Neuro Surgery
Neurosurgery is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and supporting blood vessels. It deals with both life-saving emergency procedures and planned surgeries that improve quality of life. Neurosurgeons use advanced techniques, including microsurgery, endoscopic surgery, and minimally invasive approaches, to achieve precise results with faster recovery.
Key Areas of Neurosurgery
Brain Surgery – Treatment of brain tumors, traumatic brain injuries, intracranial hemorrhages, aneurysms, and other critical brain conditions requiring surgical intervention and precise microsurgical techniques.
Spinal Surgery – Management of spinal disorders including slipped (herniated) discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, vertebral fractures, spinal cord compression, and deformities using both open and minimally invasive approaches.
Pediatric Neurosurgery – Specialized surgical care for children with congenital or developmental conditions such as hydrocephalus, spina bifida, craniosynostosis, and pediatric brain tumors; includes age-appropriate perioperative care.
Functional Neurosurgery – Surgical treatments aimed at improving neurological function, including epilepsy surgery, deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders, and procedures for chronic pain and spasticity.
Neuro-oncology – Surgical management of primary and metastatic brain and spinal cord tumors, coordinated with radiation oncology and medical oncology for multidisciplinary cancer care.
Peripheral Nerve Surgery – Repair and reconstruction of peripheral nerve injuries, decompression for entrapment syndromes (e.g., carpal tunnel), and treatment of neuropathies affecting limb function and sensation.
Common Services Provided by Neurosurgeons
- Emergency interventions for head injuries, traumatic brain hemorrhage, and acute spinal trauma.
- Removal of intracranial and spinal tumors, including pituitary adenomas and meningiomas.
- Microsurgical procedures for delicate brain and nerve operations using high-powered microscopes and precision instruments.
- Minimally invasive spinal surgeries such as endoscopic discectomy and tubular retraction techniques for nerve decompression.
- Surgical management of vascular disorders including aneurysm clipping, endovascular-assisted procedures, and AVM resection.
- Advanced functional procedures like deep brain stimulation (DBS) and surgical epilepsy treatments.
- Peripheral nerve repair, nerve grafting, and decompression surgeries to restore function and relieve neuropathic pain.
- Post-operative rehabilitation coordination and long-term neurological follow-up care.
Note: Neurosurgical care is often multidisciplinary—working closely with neurologists, radiologists, oncologists, physiotherapists, and critical care teams to ensure optimal outcomes.
