Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery is the surgery of the nervous system. Commonly referred to as Brain Surgery it is the medical specialty concerned with the surgical treatment of disorders of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system. The brain and the spinal cord comprise the central nervous system while the peripheral nervous system is composed of the nerves and sensory receptors of the sense organs (such as the ears, eyes, skin etc.). Surgeons who perform neurosurgery are called neurosurgeons.

A brain surgery is required to repair structural problems in your brain. They can either be due to birth defects, diseases, injuries, or any other problems.

Some of the conditions that require neurosurgery are :

Department of Neurosurgery is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, dedicated neurosurgical intensive care unit and has established neuro-rehabilitation program for post-operative patient care.

Types of Neurosurgery

• Neuro-oncology

  This is a speciality that is focused on tumours of the brain and the spinal cord

• Functional Neurosurgery

  Surgery to treat problems such as movement disorders, cerebral palsy and epilepsy come under this speciality.

• Neurovascular Surgery

  This speciality as the name indicates is focused on the blood vessels that supply the nervous system and their related problems such as narrowing, aneurysms, etc.

• Paediatric Neurosurgery

  Neurosurgery that is focused on the neurological problems that occur in the developmental and childhood stages. This involves the treatment of congenital defects such a spina bifida, tumours and other anomalies.

• Traumatology

  A neurosurgeon who specializes in traumatology treats injuries to the nervous system, such as head injuries, surgically.

• Spinal Surgery

  This speciality is focused on surgeries of the spinal cord.

• Skull-base surgery

  Neurosurgeons in this field specialize in anomaly surgeries present at the skull base.
