NEURO SURGERY

Neurosurgery, which includes surgery on the brain, spinal cord, skull and the bony spinal column, is a highly advanced super-specialty which requires specialized training.

Micro - Neurosurgery

(Surgery performed using an operating microscope)

Now a days, most of the neurosurgical procedures are performed under Microscope. Use of Microscope ensures better surgery and lowers the complication rates. Here at Primus Hospital we have the best Operating Microscope (Karl Zeiss). With the use of a microscope there is less damage to a normal brain or spinal cord surrounding the area of abnormality. Patients have a smooth recovery and lower incidence of surgery induced deficits. The hospital stay is reduced and thus the cost to the patient is lower.

Spine Surgeries

Surgery for Degenerative Spine conditions and CVJ anomalies

At primus hospital various minimally invasive and microscopic surgeries are carried out for degenerative spine conditions like Lumbar and cervical spondylosis and CV junction anomalies.The procedures range from Microscopic discectomy, Laminectomy, Corpectomy and Laminoplasty, trans oral odontoidectomy etc

Surgery for Traumatic Spine Injury

Over the years there has been increase in incidence of traumatic spine injuries. These injuries can lead to permanent damage to spinal cord resulting in Quadriplegia or Paraplegia if not managed properly.Urgent treatment is required to prevent and treat such grave complications. At primus hospital we do all kind of complex spinal stabilization procedures.

Surgery for Spinal Cord Tumours

Spinal cord tumours are treated at our hospital using micro neurosurgical techniques and thus lowering the complication rates.

Brain Tumours Surgery

Surgeries are carried out for brain Tumours like Glioma, Meningiomas, Pitutary Adenomas, Ependymomas etc. The surgeries are done under microscope to bring the complication rates to the lowest.

Surgery for Hydrocephalus

Hydrocephalus is caused due to obstruction of CSF flow. It usually presents as increase in head size, blindness or head ache and vomiting. A passage is created for the CSF by connecting the CSF cavity (Ventricle) to the abdomen (Peritoneum) using Ventriculo-peritoneal shunt.

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) has now emerged as an alternative for shunt surgery.Usinga endoscope a alternative channel is created for flow of CSF and the patients does not require a shunt to be present inside the brain.

Paediatric Neurosurgery
