Awake Brain Surgery/ Awake Craniotomy

Overview

Awake 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.

Carotid angioplasty and stenting

Overview

Carotid angioplasty and stenting are procedures that open clogged arteries in the brain to reinstate the blood flow. This procedure is often done to treat or avert the risk of strokes. 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.

Spinal Fusion Surgery

Overview

Spinal fusion is a surgery done to permanently connect two or more vertebrae in the spine, removing movement between them. 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.

Stereotactic radiosurgery

Overview

This 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.
