In the brain ("brain surgery") some of the conditions commonly seen include:

·         Brain aneurysms - weaknesses on blood vessels that can burst, leading to death or stroke 

·         Carotid stenosis - narrowing of the arteries supplying the brain, possible leading to stroke or a warning 'TIA' 

·         Vascular malformations - which can bleed - some are congenital (meaning we are born with them), and some develop later in life 

·         Brain tumours - both benign (often curable with surgery) and malignant ( often incurable, but sometimes controllable with surgery) 

·         Acoustic neuromas - a kind of tumour at the base of the brain, related to the hearing nerves 

·         Trigeminal neuralgia - terrible 'spasms' of facial pain that are curable with surgery 

·         Hemifacial spasm - involuntary twitching on one side of the  face - often curable with surgery 

·         Hydrocephalus - a build up of fluid in the brain -  treatable with an endoscope (a surgical camera) or with a shunt (to divert the fluid) 

·         Head injury - blood clots ('haematomas') can develop after a head injury and some need to be removed with surgery 

Some of the spinal conditions treated (in both the lower back and neck) include:

·         Herniated or 'slipped' disc - which presses on a nerve in the spine causing 'sciatica' (or pain in the leg) 

·         Narrowing of the spinal canal - causing leg or arm weakness or pain 

·         Compression of the spinal cord - causing arm and leg weakness or difficulty with fine movements 

·         Tumours in the spine 

·         Blood vessel abnormalities in the spine 

·         Back pain - sometimes requiring treatment with 'spinal fusion' 

Peripheral Nerve problems treated by a neurosurgeon include:

·         Carpal tunnel syndrome - burning and weakness in the hands, often worse at night 

·         Ulnar nerve compression - similar to carpal tunnel syndrome, but caused by compression of a nerve at the elbow 

·         Leg weakness caused by compression of nerves in the leg 

·         Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Advantages of Endovascular Neurosurgery/ Interventional Neuroradiology in India

Endovascular neurosurgery, is the field of medicine that combines neurosurgery with interventional neuro- radiology and treats the diseases of blood vessels of the brain and spine. This is a minimally invasive technique which entails using catheters and embolic agents or clotting agents rather than open surgeries.

The procedures are done in angiographic suite (located in the x-ray department), rather than the operating room and is done within the blood vessels using catheters to fill blood vessel abnormalities with particles, polymers or stents.

Endo vascular neuro surgery treats a variety of cerebro vascular diseases which are untreatable through conventional surgery such as:

• Stroke
• Aneurysms
• Arterio-venous malformations
• IArterial stenosis
• Dural arterio-venous fistulas
• Vascular Tumours
• Carotid Cavernous sinus fistulae
• Cerebral revascularization after clotting
• Vasospastic arteries
• 
  

Advantages of Endovascular Neurosurgery/ Interventional Neuroradiology

The most important advantage of the endovascular approach for the treatment of aneurysms, AVMs and tumors of the brain is one, they can be treated, because sometimes they are considered inoperable or too risky to be operated and thus the patient goes without treatment. Endovascular neurosurgery is the procedure of choice in following patients:

• 
  
• Old age
• High risk patients with diabetes and heart disease
• Patients with contraindication for surgery or anaesthesia

Second, craniotomy or opening of the skull is avoided and thus the procedure is done through minimal invasive technique. 

This means:

• 
  

Minimal damage to the normal brain tissue
Almost no mortality
Minimal chances of complications
No brain or spinal cord tissue manipulation
No scarring, pain and least discomfort to the patient
No blood loss and need for blood transfusion
Short hospital stay and fast return to normal activities
Acute stroke patients can be treated even many hours after the stroke.
Can be used to stabilize the bones and reduce pain in patients with specific types of spinal fractures such as compression fractures and fractures caused by osteoporosis.

Why should you choose to get Neurology & Endovascular Neurosurgery in India?

Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery uses an implanted, battery-operated medical device called a neurostimulator—similar to a heart pacemaker and approximately the size of a stopwatch—to deliver electrical stimulation to targeted areas in the brain that control movement, blocking the abnormal nerve signals that cause tremor and Parkinson’s disease symptoms. The electrode is connected via a wire running beneath the skin to a stimulator and battery pack in the patient's chest. It is reversible—just turns off the current—and allows for precise calibrated symptom control. Before the procedure of Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery, a neurosurgeon uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scanning to identify and locate the exact target within the brain where electrical nerve signals generate the PD symptoms. 

Deep Brain stimulation may be used in addition to therapy with levodopa or other drugs when drugs alone do not control symptoms adequately. This technique of Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery is the preferred surgical method of treating most cases of advanced Parkinson's disease. It does not destroy brain tissue and has fewer risks than older, more destructive surgical methods, such as pallidotomy and thalamotom

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a treatment where a part of your brain is stimulated, to stop you having symptoms of a particular medical condition. It’s called an interventional procedure. An ‘interventional procedure’ includes tests, treatments or surgery which involve making a cut to the skin. Surgery is needed to fit the DBS system.

There have been several studies where people with difficult-to-control epilepsy have had fewer seizures after having DBS surgery. 

• DBS will only be considered for people who can’t have their seizures controlled by epilepsy medicines or other types of surgery
• There’s not much good evidence about how well DBS works
• After two years, more than half the people who had DBS had fewer seizures than before the surgery
• If you are being considered for DBS, a team of specialist doctors will work together, to make sure you and your epilepsy are suitable for the surgery
• If you are offered DBS, you should be told that the benefits are uncertain, and the surgery has risks
• Your doctor should discuss the risks with you, and give you written information before you decide whether to go ahead with DBS surgery
• Risks include bleeding in the brain, infection, depression and memory problems

What surgery for DBS involves

The surgery involves having a DBS system fitted. The DBS system has three parts.

• A lead – this is a thin, insulated wire. It is put through a small opening in your skull, to reach the part of your brain where the epileptic activity happens. Electrical activity is happening in our brain all the time. A seizure happens when there is a sudden burst of intense electrical activity. This is often referred to as epileptic activity.

• An extension – this is an insulated wire that is passed under the skin of your head, neck, and shoulder. It connects the lead to the neurostimulator.

• A neurostimulator – this is a small device, similar to a heart pacemaker. It is usually placed under the skin near your collarbone, lower in your chest, or under the skin of your stomach.

Before the surgery, a brain surgeon will give you a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan. This is to see the exact part of your brain where the epileptic activity happens.

At the start of the surgery, you will take some drugs to make you relaxed and sleepy, but you might stay awake. You might have a frame attached to your face. The frame will be taken away when the surgery is finished.

After the surgery, the surgeon may give you another CT or MRI scan, to make sure the DBS is in the right place.

What DBS does

Once the DBS is in place, electrical impulses go from the neurostimulator, along the extension wire and lead, and into your brain. These stimulate the part of your brain where there is epileptic activity, to stop your seizures happening. The surgeon will use a programming unit to turn the neurostimulator on, adjust the stimulation, and monitor activity. You will be given a hand held programmer or a magnet, so that you can switch the stimulator on and off.

Why should you choose ourNetwork Hospitals in India for Brain Surgery?

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.

Highly Skilled andExperienced Neurosurgeons and Neurologists

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.

Advanced DiagnosticFacilities

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.
