India offers a wide range of advanced neuro treatments and surgeries, leveraging cutting-edge technology and highly skilled medical professionals. Here are some key neuro treatments and surgeries available in India:
Neurosurgery
- Brain Tumor Surgery: Removal of benign and malignant brain tumors using techniques like craniotomy, endoscopic surgery, and stereotactic radiosurgery (Gamma Knife, CyberKnife).
- Spine Surgery: Treatment for spinal cord tumors, degenerative disc diseases, spinal stenosis, and herniated discs through minimally invasive and open surgeries.
- Aneurysm and AVM Surgery: Microsurgical clipping, endovascular coiling, and embolization for cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
- Epilepsy Surgery: Procedures like lobectomy, lesionectomy, and corpus callosotomy for drug-resistant epilepsy.
Neurological Treatments
- Stroke Management: Acute stroke management including thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, and rehabilitation.
- Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders: Deep brain stimulation (DBS), medication management, and physical therapy.
- Multiple Sclerosis: Immunomodulatory therapy, symptomatic treatment, and physical therapy.
- Neuropathy Treatment: Management of peripheral neuropathy, including medications, physiotherapy, and in some cases, surgery.
Advanced Interventions
- Neuroendoscopy: Minimally invasive surgeries for conditions like hydrocephalus, pituitary tumors, and skull base tumors.
- Functional Neurosurgery: Includes DBS for movement disorders, spinal cord stimulators for chronic pain, and motor cortex stimulation.
- Neurorehabilitation: Comprehensive rehabilitation programs for patients recovering from neurological injuries or surgeries, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.
Pediatric Neurosurgery
- Congenital Malformations: Treatment for conditions like spina bifida, craniosynostosis, and hydrocephalus.
- Pediatric Brain and Spine Tumors: Surgical removal and adjunct therapies for pediatric tumors.
Neuro-Oncology
- Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy: For brain and spinal cord tumors.
- Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy: Advanced treatment options for specific types of brain cancers.
Diagnostic and Support Services
- Neuroimaging: MRI, CT scans, PET scans, and functional MRI (fMRI) for detailed brain and spine imaging.
- Neurophysiology: EEG, EMG, and nerve conduction studies for diagnosing neurological disorders.
- Interventional Neuroradiology: Procedures like angiography, embolization, and vertebroplasty.
Various Brain Tumor Surgery
- Craniotomy: Open surgery to remove brain tumors.
- Endoscopic Brain Surgery: Minimally invasive removal of tumors using an endoscope.
- Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Non-invasive techniques like Gamma Knife and CyberKnife for precise tumor treatment.
Aneurysm and AVM Surgery
- Microsurgical Clipping: Surgical clipping of cerebral aneurysms.
- Endovascular Coiling: Minimally invasive technique using coils to treat aneurysms.
- Embolization: Blocking abnormal blood vessels in AVMs.
Epilepsy Surgery
- Lobectomy: Removal of the brain lobe where seizures originate.
- Lesionectomy: Removal of the brain lesion causing seizures.
- Corpus Callosotomy: Severing the corpus callosum to prevent seizure spread.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
- DBS for Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders: Implantation of electrodes in the brain to regulate abnormal impulses.
- Hydrocephalus Surgery
- Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) Shunt: Insertion of a shunt to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid.
- Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV): Creating an opening in the floor of the third ventricle to allow fluid flow.
- Peripheral Nerve Surgeries
Carpal Tunnel Release
- Surgical release of the carpal tunnel to relieve pressure on the median nerve.
- Ulnar Nerve Decompression
- Relieving pressure on the ulnar nerve at the elbow.
- Brachial Plexus Surgery
- Repair and reconstruction of the brachial plexus nerves.
Pediatric Neurosurgeries
- Spina Bifida Repair
- Surgical closure of the spinal defect in infants with spina bifida.
- Craniosynostosis Surgery
- Correction of premature fusion of skull sutures in infants.
- Pediatric Brain and Spine Tumor Surgery
- Removal of tumors in the pediatric population.
Functional Neurosurgeries
- Spinal Cord Stimulation
- Implantation of a device to send electrical impulses to the spinal cord to relieve pain.
- Motor Cortex Stimulation
- Electrical stimulation of the motor cortex to control chronic pain.
- Neuro-Oncology Surgeries
Resection of Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors
- Surgical removal of malignant and benign tumors.
Biopsy
- Obtaining tissue samples for diagnostic purposes.
Advanced and Minimally Invasive Techniques
Neuroendoscopy
- Minimally invasive approach for treating conditions like pituitary tumors, colloid cysts, and intraventricular tumors.
Image-Guided Surgery
- Use of real-time imaging techniques such as intraoperative MRI or CT for precise surgical navigation.
Indian hospitals are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and offer comprehensive care for patients undergoing surgical procedures. India’s healthcare sector is known for providing high-quality medical care at a fraction of the cost compared to many Western countries, making it a popular destination for medical tourism
