There are many reasons
why so many patients from all over the world come to our network hospitals in
India for various types of treatments related to Brain and other Neurological
disorders. Following are the most common reasons.
Our Network Hospitals
in India have dedicated Neurology and Neurosurgery Department. The
neurosurgeons operate with the most advanced technology systems. They use an
image-guided management system for an improved perspective on the progress of
complex brain surgeries. It can also help reduce the need for patients to
undergo additional surgeries. The neurosurgeons have the expertise in
Computer-assisted brain surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, Awake Brain
Surgery, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and other complex surgical procedures
related to brain and nervous system. They have been trained and have worked in
some of the leading Brain Surgery Centres across the world. They work with a
multi-disciplinary team of doctors that consists of neurologists,
neuro-oncologists), neuroradiologists, orthopaedicsurgeons, ENT specialists,
endocrinologists, general medicine and rehabilitation, pain medicine, and other
areas to provide the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
Intraoperative Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (iMRI)
The neurosurgeons at
our network hospitals in India use a high-resolution intraoperative magnetic
resonance imaging (iMRI) while performing brain surgeries. This helps them to
see the brain tumours while performing surgery thereby greatly reducing the
risk of damaging other parts of the brain. Moreover this also helps to confirm
the successful removal of the entire tumour. The Intraoperative magnetic
resonance imaging (iMRI) is used during the surgery to remove brain tumors and
pituitary tumors with greater accuracy and safety. It is also used to place
deep brain stimulator systems .
Computer-assisted Brain
Surgery
In Computer-assisted
Brain Surgery, various imaging technologies, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI), Computerized Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) are
used to create a 3-D model of the brain. The computer system precisely guides
the neurosurgeon to the area/s of your brain requiring treatment. This helps
the neurosurgeons to plan the safest way to treat your condition with greater
degree of accuracy. The computer-assisted surgery helps a lot in performing
Awake Brain Surgery. Computer-assisted techniques is also be usedin treating
brain tumours and other lesions with precisely focused beams of radiation using
stereotactic radiosurgery.
Stereotactic radiosurgery
(SRS)
Stereotactic Radiosurgery
(SRS) uses precisely focused radiation beams to treat brain tumours and other
abnormal growths in the brain. The advantage of modern Stereotactic
Radiosurgery is, it delivers high doses of radiation to the tumour with minimal
exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. A multidisciplinary team of experts
plan the treatment and carefully monitor doses to avoid the risk of radiation
overexposure.Unlike traditional radiation therapy, in this treatment, no
incision is made. This minimizes the chances of infection or excessive
bleeding. A plan has to be developed before undergoing this surgery. A
multi-disciplinary team of doctors plan an appropriate treatment for you
depending on thetype of tumour, location and size.
Awake Brain Surgery
In an Awake Brain
Surgery you're awake during the surgery. Awake Brain Surgery is done by expert
brain surgeons to treat some brain conditions such asbrain tumors or epileptic
seizures. Awake Brain Surgery allows yourbrain surgeon to work directly with you
in order to locate critical functional tissue of the brain. This process is
called mapping. Once the brain has been exposed, you will be awakened and the
brain is stimulated to determine the function of each area of tissue. You may
be awake during surgery to respond to your surgeon. Your responses will help
the surgeon to ensure that he is treating the precise area of your brain that
needs surgery. Awake Brain Surgery is mainly done if your tumor is near the
parts of your brain that control movement or speech. Awake Brain Surgery helps
in lowering the risk of damage to functional areas of your brain. In Awake
brain surgery the important areas of the brain can be avoided and preserved
during surgery.
Minimally Invasive Brain
Surgery
Minimally invasive
brain surgeries are commonly done at our network hospitals in India. The
hospitals have expert surgeons who specialise in minimally invasive brain
surgery techniques. In a minimally invasive brain surgery , the brain surgeons
insert two small tubes and use what are called endoscopes. One tube carries a
fibre optic camera and light source, the other carries miniaturized surgical
instruments. The surgeons operate by watching a TV monitor.
In the traditional way
of doing a brain tumour surgery, a more invasive approach was used to remove
tumors close to the brainstem. The surgery took much longer time and was
performed through an incision behind and below the ear. This took hours of bone
drilling to reach the tumor. Since it was an open surgery, the risks were more.
Nowadays, with the development of technology and expertise, some of the brain
surgeries can be done through nose. The technique is called the endoscopic
expanded endonasal brain tumour surgery.
This technique allows neurosurgeons to
pass a camera and specialized surgical instruments to the back of the nasal
passage and directly to various regions of the skull base, without scarring and
with a shorter recovery. Even though this technique was first described decades
ago for pituitary tumor surgery, but recent advancements have helped to use the
endonasal approach to safely remove tumors in a variety of other critical
skull-base locations. There are very few surgeons in the world who have the
expertise to use this technique in brain tumour surgery. At our network
hospitals in India, you will find some expert neurosurgeons who have
successfully performed many brain tumour surgeries using this technique. Some
of the benefits of Endoscopic TransnasalBrain Tumour Surgery are No Brain
Retraction, Faster Recovery Time, No Facial Scars, Fewer Complications and
shorter Hospital Stays.
Our network hospitals
in India provide sophisticated diagnostic services for diagnosing or detecting
a wide range of brain and other neurological disorders and conditions. Some of
the advanced diagnostic facilities available at our network hospitals in India
are as follows.
·
Electroencephalograms
(EEG): Electroencephalograms
or EEG is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that is done to study the
electrical activity of the brain. Electroencephalograms or EEG helps to
diagnose seizure disorders, stroke, headaches, dizziness and fainting episodes.
·
Evoked
Potentials: Evoked potentials
studies help to measure the electrical signals along nerve pathways.Evoked
potentials studies are used to diagnose visual losses, hearing losses, and
nerve damage or degeneration within the spinal cord or nerve roots.
·
Nerve
Conduction Studies: Nerve conduction
velocity test measures how quickly electrical impulses move along a nerve and
it is often done with electromyogram to exclude or detect muscle and nerve
disorders.
·
Electromyography: Electromyography is used diagnose
neuromuscular disorders such as Motor Neuron Disease, neuropathy, nerve damage
and muscle damage.
·
Brain
Suite System: To treat complex
neurosurgical casesefficiently and safely, our network hospitals in India are
equipped with an advanced Brain Suite System. The Brain Suite System allows
high-resolution MRI images to be taken while performing the surgery. This helps
the brain or neurosurgeons to remove complex tumours without harming the
critical brain tissues.
·
Flat
Panel DSA with 3D technology: This diagnostic technology provides high-resolution 3D images.
You will have a much decreasedexposure toradiation.
·
Other
Diagnostic Facilities: Isocentric C
Arm,Neurophysiology Laboratory, Cerebral Angiography, Computed Tomography Scan
(CT Scan), Intracranial pressure monitoring, Lumbar puncture, Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI), Myleogram, NeuroHisto Pathology, Pathology,
Transcranial Doppler, Support Services, 1.5 T MRI ,64-slice CT facilities,
functional MRI, MRI spectroscopy, diffusion/perfusion MRI etc.
