  • Paediatric Neurosurgery: Specialized care for children with neurological disorders such as hydrocephalus, brain tumors, congenital anomalies, and tethered cord syndrome.
  • Spinal Surgeries: Advanced treatment for spinal tumors, tuberculosis (Pott’s spine), disc prolapse, spinal injuries, and spinal fixation.
  • Functional Neurosurgery: We provide procedures like Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and epilepsy surgery, and treatment for movement disorders.
  • Peripheral Nerve Surgery: Surgical treatment and management for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, brachial plexus injuries, and nerve tumors such as neurofibromas and schwannomas.
  • Skull Base Surgery: Advanced endoscopic and transcranial procedures for conditions affecting the skull base, including pituitary tumors, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak repair, and surgeries for orbital and ENT related tumors.
Procedures Offered

We utilize advanced techniques and minimally invasive approaches for a variety of neurosurgical and spine procedures, prioritizing safety and recovery.

  • Microsurgery for Brain Tumors: Precise removal of brain tumors including gliomas, meningiomas, posterior fossa, and intraventricular tumors using advanced imaging, stereotactic navigation, and high-precision tools for minimal risk and optimal outcomes.
  • Trauma Surgery for Head Injuries: Emergency interventions for severe head injuries, including skull fractures and brain hemorrhages.
  • Endoscopic Pituitary Tumor Surgery: Minimally invasive surgery through the nasal passage for quick recovery and reduced hospital stays.
  • Neurovascular Surgery: Clipping and coiling procedures for aneurysms and treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), performed in collaboration with our neurologists and intensivists.
  • Spinal Instrumentation Surgery: Stabilization of the spine for trauma, degenerative conditions, and disc prolapse like lumbar/cervical disc prolapse using minimally invasive techniques.
  • Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): Implantation of devices to treat movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and dystonia.
  • Endoscopic Spine Surgery: Minimally invasive spine surgery for conditions such as disc prolapse, resulting in faster recovery and reduced post-operative discomfort.
  • Peripheral Nerve Surgery: Microsurgical techniques for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, brachial plexus injuries, nerve tumors, nerve entrapment syndromes, and traumatic injuries.
