Neurosciences Expertise
Neurosurgery a branch of surgery involved with the brain, spine and nerves, is a key specialty at Apollo hospitals. Our Neurosurgeons treat neurological diseases such as head injury, spinal injury, brain tumors, spinal tumors, brain hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, nerve injuries, tumors, disc prolapse or herniation, spinal dislocation, unstable spine, congenital malformations like atlanto-axial dislocation, spinal dysraphism etc. Treatment of seizures or epilepsy as well as modern treatments for movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease are further specializations. More than 1000 major neurosurgeries are being carried out every year.
Today, Neuroanaesthesia, Neurosurgical intensive care and Neuro-imaging technology have advanced so much that mortality has significantly reduced and functional outcomes have improved tremendously. Minimally invasive techniques help decrease the mortality and morbidity associated with surgery.
Preservation of all functions, good cosmetic outcome, shorter hospital stay and avoiding pain and discomfort are as important as saving life. The integrated team of neurologists,neurosurgeons, neuroanesthetists and intensivists along with rehabilitation specialists are dedicated to this goal.
