Neurosurgery

Peripheral Nerve Conditions

• Peripheral Nerve Tumors: Schwannomas, neurofibromas.
• Peripheral Nerve Injuries: Trauma, compression, entrapment.
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the median nerve in the wrist.
• Ulnar Nerve Entrapment: Compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow or wrist.
• Other Nerve Compressions: Tarsal tunnel syndrome, peroneal nerve palsy.

Other Neurological Conditions

• Trigeminal Neuralgia: Severe facial pain caused by irritation of the trigeminal nerve.
• Chiari Malformations: Structural defects in the cerebellum.
• Headaches: Chronic and complex headache disorders.

Techniques and Procedure Used by Neurosurgeon

Shalby Hospitals’ neurosurgeons are proficient in various cutting-edge surgical techniques and procedures, ensuring the highest quality care for patients with neurological conditions.

• Craniotomy: This involves opening the skull to access the brain, allowing for various interventions like tumor removal, aneurysm repair, or epilepsy surgery.
• Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): This innovative technique involves implanting electrodes to regulate abnormal neural activity, effectively treating movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and essential tremors.
• Minimally Invasive Procedures: These techniques use small incisions and specialized instruments, such as endoscopes or catheters, to access and treat neurological conditions with reduced trauma and faster recovery times. Examples include endoscopic brain surgery and endovascular treatments for aneurysms and stroke.
• Open Surgery: In some instances, traditional open surgery may be necessary to provide adequate access to the affected area. Our neurosurgeons are skilled in performing complex open procedures with precision and care.
• Microsurgery: This technique involves using a microscope to visualize and operate on delicate structures within the brain and spine, ensuring precise and meticulous surgical interventions.
• Radiosurgery: This non-invasive procedure uses focused radiation beams to target and destroy tumors or other abnormalities in the brain or spine with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
• Chronic Pain Interventional Procedures: These techniques aim to alleviate chronic pain by targeting specific nerves or pain pathways, often through minimally invasive procedures like nerve blocks or spinal cord stimulation.

When to Seek a Neurosurgeon

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, it is essential to consult with a neurosurgeon for evaluation:

• Persistent or severe headaches accompanied by nausea and vomiting
• Changes in vision or speech
• Weakness or numbness in your arms, legs, or face
• Back or neck pain associated with bowel or bladder dysfunction
• Seizures
• Loss of coordination or balance
• Significant memory loss or unusual behavioral changes
• Tremors or difficulties with movement
• Suspected or diagnosed brain or spinal tumors, malformations, or aneurysms
• Problems with walking or gait disturbances

These symptoms may indicate a neurological condition that requires surgical intervention or specialized care. Early consultation with a neurosurgeon can lead to prompt diagnosis and treatment, potentially improving outcomes and quality of life.
