Your nervous system controls almost everything you do, think, say or feel. It controls difficult processes like movement, thought and memory and helps in doing things your body does without thinking like breathing, and blinking. The nervous system is a complex, superior system that controls and coordinates bodily functions. This system is the command centre for your body.
Ailments, accidents, toxins, and the natural ageing process can hamper your nervous system function.
The medical speciality that deals with nervous system function is called neurology. It is a major field of medicine that is concerned with the study and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. Treating nervous conditions need excellent medical amenities for precise diagnosis and surgical procedure - be invasive, minimally invasive, steered by eminent neurologist and neurosurgeons.

An auditory brainstem implant is an advanced procedure applied to facilitate hearing, which cannot be achieved with conventional cochlear implants. ABIs are very helpful in cases where the auditory nerve is either severely damaged or missing, such that a sound signal cannot be carried to the brain.
Read MoreAwake brain surgery is the advanced technique used in treating various types of brain disorders, be it tumours, epilepsy, or other such conditions. Unlike traditional brain surgery, with complete anesthetization of the patient, awake brain surgery is conducted on a conscious patient because this allows the neurosurgeon to witness the system function in real-time.

The carotid arteries are situated on either side of the neck, these are the primary arteries supplying blood to the brain. Fatty deposits (plaque) can clog arteries that impede or slow down blood flow to the brain and the condition is known as carotid artery disease, which can lead to stroke.

This surgery comprises specific techniques formulated to imitate the normal healing process of broken or damaged bones. During this surgery, your neurosurgeon keeps bone or a bone-like material within the space between two spinal vertebrae. Metal plates, screws, and rods are used to hold on the vertebrae together so that they can heal into one solid unit.
Read MoreThis radiotherapy uses several accurately focused radiation beams to treat cancers and problems in the brain, neck, lungs, liver, spine and other regions of the body. Stereotactic radiosurgery is not surgery, as there’s no incision but instead uses 3D imaging to target high doses of radiation to the affected region with very less impact on the surrounding healthy tissue. It works by destroying the DNA of the targeted cells, reducing the ability to reproduce, and thereby making the tumours shrink. Stereotactic radiosurgery of the brain and spine is typically completed in one session.
