Neurosurgery encompasses all surgical procedures that take place in the nervous system to diagnose and treat diseases, disorders and conditions of the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves. A skilled neurosurgeon who specialises in the nervous system performs the surgery.
Medcy Hospitals caters to a wide range of neurological disorders. Experienced neurosurgeons employ the latest surgical techniques to enhance patient outcomes, giving each patient a much better quality of life.
Different neurological conditions require different surgical treatments to ensure complete recovery and a better functioning neurological system. Medcy Hospitals offers the following treatment options.
It is a branch of neurosurgery that focuses on chronic neurological disorders that have affected the daily functioning of a patient’s life. Conditions like Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, tremors, chronic pain, and other movement disorders qualify for treatment under functional neurosurgery.
An abnormal growth in the spinal cord or the bones is known as a spinal tumour. Treatment for spinal tumours includes surgery if the tumour can be removed with little to no nerve damage or spinal cord injury. During surgery, high-frequency sound waves may be used to break up tumours and remove the fragments. Radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or both may be prescribed following surgery if the tumour cannot be entirely removed.
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) uses multiple focused radiation beams to precisely target and treat tumours and other health issues in different parts of the body, including the brain, neck, lungs, liver, and spine.
Stereotactic radiosurgery is a non-invasive procedure that uses 3D imaging to deliver high doses of radiation to a specific area without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue. There is no need for incisions or openings.
Unusual growths in the pituitary gland are known as pituitary tumours. Usually, treatment involves surgery that is conducted to remove the tumour. Sometimes radiation therapy and medications are also prescribed to treat it.
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder where damaged brain cells fire abnormal electrical signals, which cause seizures. Seizures could include loss of muscle control, awareness, sensation, emotion, or even behaviour. The treatment for epilepsy includes anti-seizure medicines, changes in diet, and for advanced cases, surgery.
Parkinson’s disease causes uncontrollable movement of the muscles, leading to shaking, tremors, stiffness, and even balance and coordination problems. Symptoms worsen with age, and the disease is incurable. Thus, treatment involves medication to lessen symptoms, speech and physical therapy, lifestyle changes, etc.
A spinal cord injury may damage the spine or the nerves, leading to loss of function in certain parts of the body. Treatment for this type of injury involves emergency surgery to reverse the damage as much as possible. Medication, experimental treatments, and other therapies are carried out to restore function.
A type of stroke, a brain haemorrhage, is caused when an artery leaks or bursts in the brain, leading to localised bleeding into the surrounding tissues. Surgery is necessary to relieve the pressure inside the skull and stop the bleeding. Medications are also given to manage symptoms like seizures, headaches, and more.
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is cut off. It is a life-threatening condition that requires emergency treatment. Treatment involves medications to dissolve and prevent blood clots, reduce blood pressure, and so on. Surgery may be conducted to stop further bleeding or brain swelling.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive condition where brain function starts deteriorating, affecting mental abilities like thinking, memory, etc. Treatment involves medication for symptoms combined with psychological therapies to slow the progress.
Meningitis is an infection that leads to the inflammation of the membranes covering the spinal cord and the brain. It leads to symptoms like a stiff neck, fever, and headache. Treatment depends on the cause of meningitis, usually solved with suitable medication.
Encephalitis is a condition where the brain becomes swollen. Once symptoms are noticed, it becomes important to receive prompt treatment. Medications are the most common treatment for encephalitis.
When the nerves outside of the brain and the spine are damaged, it falls under peripheral neuropathy. It can lead to reduced functioning, numbness, or pain in certain parts of the body, most commonly hands and feet. Different types include Guillain-Barré syndrome, meralgia paresthetica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and more.
Muscular dystrophy is an umbrella term used for 30 genetic conditions that affect the functioning of muscles resulting in gradual muscle weakness and increasing levels of disability. A mix of surgery, medicine, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes is the usual treatment for muscular dystrophy.
Neurosurgery refers to any surgery carried out to treat conditions of the brain, spine, or nervous system. It incorporates a wide range of diseases that affect the nervous system, with treatments varying from condition to condition.
A craniotomy is a surgical procedure that involves creating a small hole in the skull or removing a piece of bone from the skull to access a part of the brain. It is done to remove a brain tumour, obtain a brain tissue sample, remove blood clots and treat other brain-related issues.
A subdural hematoma is a serious condition caused by a head injury, where blood collects between the skull and the brain’s surface. Two types of surgeries may be suggested for a subdural hematoma depending on the cause of the condition – craniotomy or a burr hole surgery.
An epidural hematoma is caused when blood gets collected between the dura mater and the skull. A leaking blood vessel can cause this condition, putting pressure on the brain and causing more brain injury. An epidural hematoma needs emergency surgery to stop the pressure and repair the vessel. It is followed by rehabilitation therapy and medication.
Decompressive craniectomy is a surgical procedure where the surgeon removes a portion of the skull to reduce brain swelling and pressure and avoid brain injury caused by the pressure.
Deep brain stimulation is a surgical procedure where electrodes are implanted in certain areas of the brain. These electrodes generate electrical impulses that help regulate abnormal impulses and manage irregular brain activity. It is a treatment for movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease.
Microvascular decompression is a surgery that aims to treat symptoms like twitching, spasms, or pain caused by nerve compression. In the procedure, a craniotomy is followed by stuffing a tiny sponge between the nerve and the vessel triggering the symptoms.
When the brain gets filled with an abnormal amount of cerebrospinal fluid, it is called hydrocephalus. It can be fatal for patients. Thus, it needs surgery to reduce the pressure on the brain. A Shunt Surgery or an Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy is conducted to treat it.
When the walls of a blood vessel in the brain weaken, it can create a balloon-like bulge called a brain aneurysm. If the aneurysm ruptures, it can cause severe brain damage. Treatment usually involves surgery to clip off the unruptured aneurysm and divert blood flow.
Surgery is a common treatment for a brain tumour. The surgeon attempts to remove the entire tumour from the brain. Partial removal helps ease the pressure on the brain and slow its growth. Other treatments include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, radiosurgery, and more.
Removal of the brain tumour by means of surgery is also known as a brain tumour excision. The surgery aims to remove as much of the tumour as possible without damaging the healthy brain tissue.
A lumbar decompression is a surgical procedure that treats compressed nerves in the lower spine. When the nerves are compressed, they can cause numbness and persistent pain in the legs.
