Conditions Treated

With the support of neuroanaesthesia and neurocritical care, our specialists can treat various conditions affecting the brain, spine, and nervous system. In the field of neurosurgery, this subspeciality seeks to reduce risks and complications.

  • Stroke: A stroke is a medical emergency where poor blood flow to the brain causes cell death. We work to manage the complications arising from the stroke and offer close monitoring in the ICU.
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Traumatic brain injury usually results from a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. We focus on making sure the person has enough oxygen and an adequate blood supply and maintaining blood pressure. Surgery is needed toaddress hematomas, any skull fracture, and bleeding in the brain. Tailored neurorehabilitation is also provided to help regain lost functions.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: A spinal cord injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord resulting from trauma or non-traumatic causes. With the help of neurosurgery, we minimise the damage for optimal outcomes.
  • Status Epilepticus: It occurs when a seizure lasts more than 5 minutes or when seizures occur very close together, and the person doesn't recover consciousness between them. With anti-seizure medication, oxygen and other breathing support, and continuous EEG monitoring, we prevent any complications.
  • Other Severe Neurological Conditions: We help manage complex neurological conditions like brain tumours, infections, and autoimmune disorders.
