Neurosurgery refers to any surgical intervention that is performed to treat and manage the conditions affecting the Brain, Spine and associated structures, such as the Spinal Cord, Spinal Column and Peripheral Nerves. Patients are usually recommended to go for surgery when they stop responding to medication and other non-invasive treatments. Neurosurgical procedures are quite complex and call for the need for immense specialization. These can be performed via the conventional approach or following a minimally invasive technique.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE
- Stroke - Stroke is a debilitating/life-threatening condition that is likely to affect 1 out of every 4 adults, above the age of 25. It refers to a condition marked by the sudden death of the brain cells due to a disrupted supply of oxygenated blood to it.
- Hydrocephalus - Hydrocephalus is a neurological condition in which the cerebrospinal fluids start building in the deep brain cavities, also known as ventricles. The fluid caused these ventricles to swell up, inducing increased pressure on the brain.
- Traumatic Brain Injury - Traumatic Brain Injury refers to complex injuries of the brain that may be sustained due to a violent blow, trauma or accident. Such injuries can affect any part of the brain and give rise to varied symptoms.
- Carotid Stenosis - Carotid Stenosis is a condition in which the carotid artery of a person becomes narrow, thereby limiting the flow of oxygenated blood to the brain. This can cause the brain cells to die, giving rise to serious, life-threatening complications.
- Brain Aneurysm - A Brain Aneurysm refers to a weak spot on any of the blood vessels found within the brain. When blood flows through this section of the vessel, it is pushed outwards, leading to the formation of a tiny bulge. Aneurysms can sometimes rupture or burst, leading to subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH).
- Brain Haemorrhage - Brain Haemorrhage, or brain bleed, is a potentially life-threatening condition marked by bleeding in the brain or the areas around it, which usually happens due to a ruptured aneurysm or a traumatic injury to the skull. It is one of the leading causes of stroke, responsible for nearly 15 to 30 per cent of all cases.
- AVM - An Arteriovenous Malformation refers to a tangled connection between the arteries and veins, which disrupts the normal flow of blood to and from the brain. If left untreated, the problem can put you at a high risk of developing complications like brain damage and stroke as it prevents the brain cells from getting enough oxygenated blood.
- Deep Brain Stimulation - Deep Brain Stimulation is an advanced treatment modality that works by delivering controlled electric impulses to certain areas of the brain. The treatment is recommended for patients with complex neurodegenerative conditions and involves the surgical implantation of tiny electrodes in the affected part of the brain.
- Neurovascular Surgery - Neurovascular Surgery is an umbrella term used for any conventional or minimally invasive surgical procedure that is performed on patients with complex vascular problems involving the brain and spine.
- Neuroendoscopy - Neuroendoscopy, also referred to as endoscopic neurosurgery, is an advanced technique that uses detailed imaging guidance to perform various neuro interventions through a minimally invasive approach. T
- Awake Craniotomy - Awake Craniotomy, also referred to as awake brain surgery, is a type of surgery that is performed on the brain while the patient is awake and alert. The procedure is used for the treatment/management of various brain (Neurological) conditions like Brain Tumours or Epileptic seizures.
- Back Pain Management - Back Pain is a very common problem that affects nearly 84 per cent of the adult population, in their lifetime. In India, about 8 per cent of people are living with a disability related to the same. Back pain can be the result of a variety of different factors and this can range from shooting pain to a stabbing sensation.
