Surgical Services
Our Neurosurgery Department offers a wide range of surgical services to treat various neurological conditions, including:

Brain Tumor Surgery: Our neurosurgeons are experienced in performing complex procedures to remove or treat brain tumors, including gliomas, meningiomas, and pituitary tumors, using advanced surgical techniques such as neuronavigation and intraoperative imaging.
Spine Surgery: We offer surgical interventions for conditions affecting the spine, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, and spinal tumors. Our neurosurgeons perform minimally invasive spine surgeries, as well as complex procedures like spinal fusion and decompression surgeries.
Cerebrovascular Surgery: Our neurosurgeons have expertise in treating cerebrovascular disorders, including aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and carotid artery disease, through advanced surgical techniques like endovascular coiling and clipping procedures.
Functional Neurosurgery: We provide surgical treatment for movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia, through procedures like deep brain stimulation (DBS) and selective dorsal rhizotomy for spasticity.
Peripheral Nerve Surgery: Our neurosurgeons perform surgeries to repair or decompress peripheral nerves affected by conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, nerve injuries, and entrapment neuropathies.

Advanced Technologies
Our Neurosurgery Department is equipped with cutting-edge technologies to enhance surgical precision and patient outcomes, including:

Intraoperative Neuronavigation: This advanced imaging guidance system provides real-time, 3D visualization of the brain and spine during surgery, allowing for precise surgical planning and execution.
Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring: Our team utilizes advanced monitoring techniques to assess neural function during surgery, minimizing the risk of neurological complications.
Surgical Microscopes and Endoscopes: We employ high-resolution microscopes and endoscopes to magnify and visualize intricate neural structures during delicate neurosurgical procedures.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Our state-of-the-art stereotactic radiosurgery system delivers precisely targeted radiation therapy for certain brain tumors and other neurological conditions, offering a non-invasive treatment option.

Multidisciplinary Care
At our Neurosurgery Department, we believe in a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to patient care. Our neurosurgeons work closely with neurologists, neuro-oncologists, neuroradiologists, and other specialists to develop comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs. This integrated approach ensures that our patients receive comprehensive care, addressing all aspects of their neurological condition.

With our team of highly skilled neurosurgeons, advanced technologies, and commitment to excellence, the Neurosurgery Department at Charak Memorial Hospital is dedicated to providing world-class care and improving the lives of patients with neurological disorders and injuries.
