Neurosurgery

At Shalby Hospitals, our Department of Neurosurgery provides the best neurosurgical treatment in India and comprehensive care for a wide range of brain, spine, and nerve disorders. We offer innovative treatment plans, including minimally invasive techniques, neuroendoscopy, cerebrovascular surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, and specialized surgeries for movement disorders and epilepsy.

Recognizing the complexity of neurological conditions, we employ a multidisciplinary approach to ensure comprehensive patient care. Our neurosurgeons collaborate closely with neuro-intensivists, interventional radiologists, nurses, and other specialists to provide a full spectrum of services, from diagnosis and treatment to rehabilitation.

What Is Neuro Surgery?

Neurosurgery is a highly specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the surgical treatment of disorders affecting the nervous system. This intricate system encompasses the brain, spinal cord, and the vast network of nerves throughout the body.

Condition Treated by Neurosurgeons

Neurosurgeons at Shalby are skilled in diagnosing and treating various conditions affecting the brain, spine, and nervous system. These conditions include:

Brain Conditions:

Brain Tumors: Benign and malignant tumors, including gliomas, meningiomas, and pituitary tumors.
Cerebrovascular Conditions: Aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), stroke, and carotid artery disease.
Functional Disorders: Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia, epilepsy, and other movement disorders.
Hydrocephalus: Abnormal accumulation of fluid in the brain.
Infections: Meningitis, encephalitis, brain abscesses.
Trauma: Traumatic brain injuries, skull fractures.
Road Traffic and Trauma Injuries

Spine Conditions:

Degenerative Spine Diseases: Herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis.
Spine Tumors: Benign and malignant tumors affecting the spinal cord or vertebrae.
Spine Trauma: Spinal fractures, dislocations, spinal cord injuries.
Spinal Infections: Osteomyelitis, discitis.
Congenital Spinal Conditions: Spina bifida, tethered cord syndrome.

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.
