Services

Clinical services offered can be considered under the various Neurosurgical sub-specialities

• TRAUMA SERVICES

The trauma services run for 24 hours. Patients suffering from head and spine injuries are the casualty. Severe head injuries requiring surgery are operated on within an hour of presentation in the casualty. All types of traumatic bleeds, brain injuries requiring decompression are treated. A dedicated head injury ward is available for patients requiring long term stay.

• VASCULAR SURGERY

Surgical management of aneurysms. AVMs and Moya diseases are performed routinely in the department. High dependency care is provided to this group of critically ill patients in both preoperative and postoperative periods.

• SPINE SURGERY

Advanced spinal surgery including complex instrumentation is routinely performed. Management of complex craniovertebral junction anomalies is also performed. Spinal stabilization following spine injury is routinely performed

• EPILEPSY SURGERY

A comprehensive program is offered to drug-resistant epilepsy patients. Patients are evaluated and selected for surgical management. The entire range of epilepsy surgeries from invasive monitoring to multilobar resections and Hemi phlebotomies are performed

• SKULL BASE SURGERY

Lesions involving the base of the skull are difficult neurosurgical diseases. They require complex surgical procedures with intraoperative monitoring and neuronavigation. All the facilities required for performing these diseases are available with the department.

• ENDOSCOPY

Endoscopic surgeries are routinely performed for several intracranial diseases including pituitary adenomas, anterior skull base lesions, third ventricular lesions, hydrocephalus etc.

• PERIPHERAL NERVE SURGERIES

Traumatic injuries to peripheral nerves and brachial plexus and tumours involving the peripheral nerves are treated.

• ONCOLOGY

Benign and malignant tumours of the brain and spinal cord form one of the largest groups of patients reporting to a neurosurgery clinic.

The operative procedures are performed using microscopes with intraoperative monitoring. Selected cases are operated on using awake craniotomy. Surgical aids such as neuronavigation, intraoperative ultrasound, intraoperative CT are used in the management of complex lesions.

• MOVEMENT DISORDER SURGERY

Selected patients suffering from diseases like Parkinson’s disease are benefitted from surgical management. The surgical management includes placement of implants for Deep Brain Stimulation or by lesioning of specific structures.

• We provide a full spectrum of neurosurgery that includes tumour surgery, vascular surgery, spine surgery, movement epilepsy, movement disorder procedures, trauma and spinal tumour surgery.
• Among tumour surgery, skull-based tumours surgery is the most commonly performed. Moreover, we have exhaustive experience in dealing with pituitary tumours, we carry out both endoscopic and microsurgical procedures which is unique at Kinder Multispecialty Hospital
• In acoustic tumours, the key is facial preservation and brain stem preservation, both are done extremely well in our department and have achieved excellent results.
• We have vast experience in neurovascular procedures involving cerebrovascular aneurysm, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and tumour embolization
• Another speciality at the department of neurosurgery is that we are highly experienced in performing complex procedures such as intra-medullary tumours which are the tumours that grow inside the spinal cord, most frequently occurring in the cervical region. We have unique experience in dealing with this complex procedure with an 85-90% success rate.
• We carry out meningioma neurofibroma, among others with a 90-95% of success rate with a significant recovery pattern where patients hardly go to ventilators.
