Neurology and Spine Treatment
Craniotomy
A craniotomy is a surgical procedure that involves opening the skull to access and treat conditions affecting the brain, such as tumors, blood clots, or brain abnormalities. It allows surgeons to safely access and operate on the brain while minimizing potential damage to surrounding structures.
Brain Tumour Excision
Brain tumor excision is a surgical procedure performed to remove a brain tumor or a portion of it. It aims to relieve symptoms, reduce tumor mass, and improve overall prognosis by reducing pressure on the brain and potentially improving the effectiveness of other treatments like radiation or chemotherapy.
Brain And Spine Surgery
Brain and spine surgery encompasses a range of surgical procedures performed to treat conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and associated structures. It aims to address issues such as tumors, injuries, deformities, and neurological disorders, with the goal of relieving symptoms, preserving neurological function, and improving overall quality of life.
Micro Neurosurgery
Micro neurosurgery is a specialized surgical technique that utilizes high-powered microscopes and precise instruments to perform delicate procedures on the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, enabling surgeons to work with precision and minimize damage to surrounding structures, leading to improved patient outcomes and faster recovery.
Spinal Cord Tumour Surgery
Spinal cord tumor surgery involves the surgical removal or debulking of tumors affecting the spinal cord or its surrounding structures. The goal is to relieve compression, preserve neurological function, and improve the patient's quality of life.
Neurorehabilitation
Neurorehabilitation is a specialized branch of rehabilitation focused on restoring function and enhancing quality of life for individuals with neurological conditions or injuries through targeted therapies and interventions. It utilizes a multidisciplinary approach, combining physical, occupational, and speech therapies along with various assistive technologies to promote recovery and improve overall well-being.
Deep Brain Stimulation Therapy
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy is a neurosurgical procedure that involves implanting electrodes in specific areas of the brain and delivering electrical impulses to modulate abnormal neural activity. It is used to treat movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia, providing symptom relief and improving motor function.
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is a group of neurological disorders that affect movement, muscle coordination, and posture. It is caused by damage to the developing brain, usually before or during birth, and results in lifelong challenges and varying degrees of physical disability.
Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt
A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a surgical procedure that involves placing a tube, called a shunt, to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain's ventricles into the peritoneal cavity in the abdomen. It is commonly used to treat hydrocephalus, a condition characterized by an accumulation of fluid in the brain, to relieve pressure and regulate fluid levels.
Vertebroplasty
Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat compression fractures in the spine. It involves injecting bone cement into the fractured vertebra to stabilize it, relieve pain, and restore vertebral height.
Spinal Fusion
Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that involves joining two or more vertebrae together using bone grafts, implants, or bone-like materials. It is done to stabilize the spine, alleviate pain, and improve spinal alignment in conditions such as spinal instability, degenerative disc disease, or spinal deformities.
Discectomy
Discectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove a portion or the entire intervertebral disc that is causing nerve compression in the spine. It aims to relieve pain, numbness, and other symptoms associated with herniated or bulging discs.
Spine Rehabilitation Treatment
Spine rehabilitation treatment is a comprehensive approach that involves therapeutic interventions and exercises to address spine-related conditions, injuries, or surgeries. It focuses on improving pain, function, mobility, and strength while promoting proper posture and body mechanics for optimal spine health and recovery.
Posterior Lumber Interbody Fusion
Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) is a surgical procedure used to treat spinal instability or degeneration in the lower back. It involves removing the intervertebral disc and fusing the adjacent vertebrae together using bone grafts or implants placed from the posterior approach.
Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery
Minimal invasive spine surgery (MISS) is a surgical approach that uses specialized techniques and instruments to perform spine procedures with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. It aims to reduce surgical trauma, post-operative pain, and recovery time while achieving similar outcomes as traditional open surgery.
Slipped Disc Surgery
Slipped disc surgery, also known as a discectomy, is a procedure performed to remove a portion or the entire herniated disc that is causing compression on spinal nerves. It aims to relieve pain, reduce nerve irritation, and restore normal function in the affected area of the spine.
Spine Tumour Surgery
Spine tumor surgery is a surgical procedure performed to remove tumors or abnormal growths in the spine. It aims to relieve compression on the spinal cord or nerves, stabilize the spine, and potentially treat or manage the underlying tumor condition.
Treatment Of Spinal Injuries
Treatment of spinal injuries involves a multidisciplinary approach that includes immediate medical intervention, immobilization of the spine, and often surgical procedures to stabilize the spine, followed by rehabilitation therapies to optimize function and promote recovery. The specific treatment plan depends on the type and severity of the spinal injury.
Epilepsy Surgery
Epilepsy surgery is a procedure performed to remove or disconnect the brain tissue responsible for generating seizures, aiming to reduce or eliminate seizure activity in individuals with epilepsy. It is typically considered when medication and other treatments have been ineffective in controlling seizures.
