BRAIN AND SPINE SURGERY
Brain Tumor
A brain tumor is a growth of cells in the brain or near it. Nearby locations include nerves, the pituitary gland, the pineal gland, and the membranes that cover the surface of the brain. Brain tumor can start spreading towards the brain from other parts of the body, also called metastatic brain tumors.
Epilepsy Surgery
Epilepsy surgery is the name for the different types of brain surgery (also called neurosurgery) that some people with epilepsy have, to stop or reduce their seizures. There are different kinds of epilepsy surgery. One kind of surgery involves removing a specific area of the brain which is thought to be causing the seizures. Another kind involves separating the part of the brain that is causing seizures from the rest of the brain.
Vertebroplasty
When a vertebral fracture occurs, which may happen spontaneously or due to a minor trauma. It can be extremely painful and require immobilization and specific treatment. Vertebroplasty also known as Percutaneous Vertebroplasty is a procedure in which special cement is injected into fractured vertebrae which helps to stabilise and reduce the pain at the spine caused due to the fracture. Many factors contribute like osteoporosis, benign tumours, or metastatic tumours etc
Scoliosis Surgery
Scoliosis is identified by an abnormal curvature of the spine. In this the spine may have additional curves on either side, and the bones of the spine twist on each other, forming a ‘C’ or ‘S’ shape in the spine. Scoliosis surgery has different approaches, but doctors use the modern method wherein hooks and screws are used to join the long rods at the spine. The rods are used to reduce and hold the spine while the bone that is added fuses together with the existing ones.
Kyphoplasty Surgery
Kyphoplasty spine surgery is a type of minimally invasive procedure that is used to treat fractured or compressed vertebrae. This procedure can help to reduce back pain and restore the height and alignment of the spine. Kyphoplasty involves using a special balloon to create space within the collapsed vertebra, and then injecting bone cement into the space to help stabilize the bone.
Cervical Discectomy Spine Surgery
Cervical discectomy is a commonly used surgical procedure for treating neck problems caused by disc bulge or disc herniation. When the intervertebral disc bulges or herniates, it can compress the spinal cord, leading to numbness and pain. The procedure involves removing the affected portion of the disc to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and alleviate symptoms
Cervical Disc Replacement
The cervical spine is made of seven bones called as cervical vertebrae, which is piled on top of each other in the neck area. Cervical disc replacement is a surgical procedure which involves in removing a damaged cervical disc and replacing it with an artificial disc.
