Neuro & Spine Surgery
Advancing Neuro-Spine Surgery: Navigating the Intricacies of the Nervous System
Neurological surgery, or neurosurgery, stands as a beacon of hope for those grappling with disorders affecting the nervous system—comprising the brain, peripheral nerves, spinal cord, and the extra-cranial cerebrovascular system. The realm of neuro-spine surgery delves into the realms of diagnosis, prevention, and treatment, aiming not only to correct diseases and injuries but also to alleviate pain and restore the function of suppressed nerves. This transformative field spans various types of surgeries, conditions treated, and an array of surgical procedures.
Types of Neuro and Spine Surgeries
- Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors: Addressing tumors affecting the intricate structures of the brain and spinal cord.
- Complex Spine Surgery: Tackling intricate spine conditions requiring specialized surgical intervention.
- Minimally Invasive Neck and Back Surgery: Utilizing advanced techniques to correct lower back and neck conditions with minimal invasiveness.
- Gamma Knife: Employing precise radiation for non-invasive treatment of brain conditions.
- Skull-based and Pituitary Tumors: Focused surgeries targeting tumors in the skull base and pituitary region.
- Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Utilizing highly accurate radiation to treat specific areas in the brain.
- Pain Management: Employing various techniques to alleviate and manage chronic pain associated with neurological conditions.
- Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): Aiding patients with chronic pain, Parkinson’s, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other neurological issues through neurostimulator implantation.
Conditions Treated by Neuro Spine Surgery
- Fractures: Addressing fractures affecting the spinal cord and surrounding structures.
- Brain and Spine Tumors: Treating tumors affecting critical neurological structures.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Correcting conditions related to the deterioration of spinal discs.
- Scoliosis: Surgical interventions to address abnormal spinal curvature.
- Herniated Discs: Alleviating symptoms caused by herniated discs compressing nerves.
- Infection: Surgical procedures to manage infections affecting the nervous system.
Surgical Procedures of Neuro Spine Surgery
- ALIF: Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion: Fusion surgery for the lumbar spine through an anterior approach.
- Cervical Posterior Foraminotomy: A surgical procedure to relieve pressure on spinal nerves in the cervical region.
- Micro Endoscopic Discectomy: Minimally invasive surgery to remove a part of the herniated disc.
- Peripheral Nerve Surgery: Addressing tumors, injuries, or disorders affecting peripheral nerves.
- Trans-sphenoid Operations: Surgical removal of pituitary tumors through the sphenoid bone and nose.
- VP Shunt or CSF Shunt Procedures: Treating hydrocephalus by creating an alternate pathway to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid.
Innovative Approaches for Complex Cases
- Revision Surgery for Lumbar and Cervical Disc Disease: Corrective surgeries for patients experiencing persistent back pain after previous lumbar or cervical disc surgeries.
- Spinal Fusion + Decompression + Arthroplasty: Combining procedures to alleviate symptoms, involving spinal fusion, decompression, and joint reconstruction.
- Meniscectomy: Surgical removal of torn portions of the meniscus in joint-related conditions.
Transformative Technologies in Microscopic Operations
- All Microscopic Operations including Implant: Utilizing advanced microscopes for precision in neuronavigation, stereotactic surgery, and various treatments.
- Brachial Plexus Injuries/Stereotactic Procedures: Using stereotactic techniques for precise needle placement in treating brachial plexus injuries.
Unraveling the Complexity with Compassion
Neuro-spine surgery not only employs state-of-the-art techniques but also stands as a testament to the unwavering commitment to patient well-being. From minimally invasive approaches to intricate surgical procedures, the field continues to evolve, offering hope and healing to those navigating the delicate intricacies of the nervous system.
