Conditions Treated in Neurosurgery
Suryaprabha Nursing Home’s neurosurgery department offers diagnosis, treatment, and management for a wide range of neurological conditions, including:
- Brain Tumors: Neurosurgeons are skilled in the evaluation and treatment of brain tumors, including both benign and malignant tumors. They employ advanced surgical techniques to safely remove or reduce the tumor, aiming to relieve symptoms and improve overall prognosis.
- Spinal Disorders: This includes conditions affecting the spine, such as herniated discs, spinal cord compression, spinal fractures, spinal deformities (e.g., scoliosis), and spinal cord tumors. Neurosurgeons work closely with orthopedic surgeons and other specialists to provide comprehensive care for spinal disorders.
- Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disorders: Neurosurgeons are involved in the management of conditions affecting blood vessels in the brain, including aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and other cerebrovascular disorders. They may perform surgical interventions to repair or remove abnormal blood vessels, reducing the risk of rupture or improving blood flow to the brain.
- Head and Spinal Trauma: Neurosurgeons play a crucial role in the management of head and spinal injuries resulting from accidents or trauma. They are trained to assess and surgically treat traumatic brain injuries, skull fractures, and spinal cord injuries to minimize further damage and promote recovery.
- Peripheral Nerve Disorders: Neurosurgeons are involved in the evaluation and treatment of peripheral nerve disorders, including carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral nerve tumors, and nerve injuries. They may perform surgical procedures to decompress or repair damaged nerves, relieving pain and restoring function.
Different types of treatments in Neurosurgery
Suryaprabha Nursing Home offers a wide range of treatments and surgical procedures to address neurosurgical conditions. The specific treatment plan will depend on the patient’s diagnosis and individual needs. Some common treatments and procedures in neurosurgery include:
- Brain Surgery: Neurosurgeons perform various brain surgeries, including tumor resection, hematoma evacuation, shunting procedures for hydrocephalus, and epilepsy surgery. These procedures aim to remove or treat abnormalities in the brain, alleviate pressure, and restore normal brain function.
- Spinal Surgery: This includes procedures such as spinal fusion, laminectomy, discectomy, and spinal cord tumor resection. Neurosurgeons work alongside orthopedic surgeons to address spinal disorders, relieve compression on the spinal cord or nerves, stabilize the spine, and improve mobility.
- Endovascular Procedures: Neurosurgeons may use minimally invasive techniques, such as endovascular procedures, to treat cerebrovascular conditions. This involves navigating small catheters and instruments through blood vessels to repair aneurysms, remove blood clots, or block abnormal blood vessels.
- Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Suryaprabha Nursing Home is equipped with advanced technology for performing stereotactic radiosurgery, a non-invasive procedure that delivers precisely targeted radiation to treat brain tumors and other abnormalities. This technique allows for high-precision treatment while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
- Neuroendoscopy: Neurosurgeons at Suryaprabha Nursing Home utilize neuroendoscopic techniques to diagnose and treat certain neurosurgical conditions. Neuroendoscopy involves using a small, flexible tube with a camera and light to visualize and access areas within the brain or spine, enabling precise surgical interventions with minimal invasiveness.
- Neurointensive Care: Suryaprabha Nursing Home provides specialized neurointensive care for patients requiring close monitoring and management after neurosurgical procedures or those with critical neurological conditions. The dedicated neurointensive care unit is staffed with experienced healthcare professionals trained in the comprehensive care of neurosurgical patients.
- Rehabilitation Services: Following neurosurgery, rehabilitation plays a crucial role in maximizing recovery and restoring functionality. Suryaprabha Nursing Home offers comprehensive rehabilitation services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient.
- Collaborative Approach: Neurosurgeons at Suryaprabha Nursing Home work closely with other specialists, such as neurologists, radiologists, oncologists, and physiotherapists, to provide multidisciplinary care for complex neurosurgical cases. This collaborative approach ensures a holistic treatment plan and optimal outcomes for patients.
