Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery is a medical specialty that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders affecting:

• Central Nervous System – comprised of Brain, Hypophysis and Spinal Cord


• Peripheral Nervous System  - consists of Cranial, Spinal and Peripheral Nerves


• Autonomic Nervous System

Neurosurgery also provides treatment for pathological processes for supporting structures of these nervous systems, i.e., Meninges, Skull, and Skull Base, and Vertebral Column. It is also performed for abnormalities occurring in the Cerebro-vascular system, which is responsible for the vascular supply to the Intra-cranial, Extra-cranial, and Spinal Vasculature.

Neurosurgery deals with pathology occurring in the nervous system in adults and pediatric patients, including Congenital, Acquired, Trauma, Infection-Related, and Degenerative Processes. Various traumatic neurological conditions of head or spine trauma may cause internal bleeding is very common among adults and children, whereas older patients invariably suffer from degenerative diseases like Brain Aneurysms and Parkinson's disease.

All these complications are treated with various branches of neurosurgery which include:

• General neurosurgery


• Vascular and endovascular neurosurgery


• Spine neurosurgery


• Peripheral nerve surgery


• Stereotactic neurosurgery


• Functional and Restorative neurosurgery


• Cognitive Disorders, i.e., Congenital neurological defects


• Oncological neurosurgery


• Pediatric Oncological neurosurgery


• Epilepsy surgery


• Skull base surgery


• Surgical implantation of deep brain stimulators to treat Parkinson Disease


• Trigeminal Neuralgia


• Pediatric neurosurgery

Pediatric neurosurgery is considered to be the most delicate surgery that is performed for the treatment of Cancer, Seizures, Bleeding, Stroke, Cognitive Disorders, or Congenital Neurological Disorders. 

While Traditional, i.e., open methods are used for traumatic cases or emergencies, Neurosurgeons use various modern procedures for performing neurosurgery in Chennai through Minimally Invasive procedures such as:

• Microsurgery or microscopic surgery - complex procedures such as clipping an aneurysm or complex spine surgeries such as Microdiscectomy and Laminectomy through less invasive procedures


• Endoscopic neurosurgery – for Pituitary Tumors, Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage, Hydrocephalus, Colloid Cysts, and many others


• Neuro-Radiology - for diagnosing and treating neurological conditions using:

- Computer-Assisted Imaging Computed Tomography, i.e., CT scan

- Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRI

- Positron Emission Tomography or PET

- Magneto-Encephalography or MEG

- Stereotactic Radio Surgery

Nowadays, neurosurgeries are performed with other minimally invasive procedures using Laparoscope and through more advanced Robot-Assisted procedures in most of the neurosurgery hospitals in Chennai.
