When is Treatment Required?
Neurosurgery is indicated for brain tumours, spinal cord compression, severe epilepsy refractory to medication, hydrocephalus, cerebrovascular malformations, and acute stroke requiring surgical intervention.
Treatment Options
Brain Tumour Surgery
Craniotomy with intraoperative MRI and awake surgery techniques to maximize tumour removal while preserving function.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
Implantable device therapy for Parkinson's disease and essential tremor.
Spine Surgery
Minimally invasive discectomy, laminectomy, and spinal fusion for herniated discs and stenosis.
Epilepsy Surgery
Surgical resection of epileptogenic zones identified through video-EEG monitoring.
Carotid Endarterectomy
Surgical removal of carotid plaque to prevent stroke.
