Neurosurgery Ahmedabad

Brain Tumors may be malignant (cancerous) or benign (non cancerous). A malignant brain tumor may be further classified as either primary tumor (arises in brain tissue) or metastatic (a cancer that has spread to the brain tissue from elsewhere in the body).

Found in patients of any age, Brain tumors can begin in any part of the brain. In addition, brain tumor may also be confined to a single area or infiltrate several areas. These also vary in aggressiveness or speed of growth and must be dealt with as soon as a definitive diagnosis is made.

In addition to providing innovative care for common brain tumors like gliomas, I along with my multidisciplinary team of neurooncologists and radiation oncologists provide specialized care in well coordinated fashion. The treatment of Brain Tumors Surgery delivered by me takes care of  patients with complex tumors including:

• Acoustic neuromas / schwannomas
• Meningiomas
• Colloid cysts
• Pituitary tumors
• Pineal tumors
• Skull base tumors
• Pediatric tumors

I also hold expertise in utilizing state-of-the-art techniques including minimal invasive approach in neuroendoscopy, to maximize tumor removal and minimize risk in brain tumor surgery. Patients are also treated in a holistic manner to optimize their medical care as well as meet their emotional and functional needs.

We are offering Head Trauma Surgery Services. Head Injury is the leading cause of morbidity & mortality among young population. Backed by a highly skilled and efficient team of emergency room physician, trauma surgeon, paramedical and well trained nursing staff, I hold expertise in:

• Aggressively monitoring a patient's neurological condition
• This is done in real time, resulting in faster and effective treatment

Working with an experienced team of neurosurgeons, anesthetists, intensivist and trauma surgeons, I am qualified to treat even the most severe cases of brain. In addition to saving patients' lives, my effort is focused on:

• Optimizing recovery
• Providing patients a better chance of preserving their quality of life

Neurodoscopy is a minimally invasive technique that is effectively used especially for the diagnosis and therapy of intracranial defects. With endoscopes of differing viewing angles of 0°, 30°, 70° an 120°, neurosurgeons can also see into the brain to an extent that was not previously possible and required extensive surgery.

Some of the areas I hold expertise in include:

• Occlusive hydrocephalus (ventriculostomy)
• Intraventricular processes (e.g. tumors and cysts)
• Arachnoidal cysts and cystic cerebral tumors
• Intraventricular hemorrhages and other intraventricular interventions
• Endoscopically assisted neurosurgery (base of the skull)
• Transnasal transsphenoidal pituitary gland surgery

Approximately 15 percent of surgical procedures are on adults with pediatric diseases. Some of the primary areas of neurosurgery I hold expertise in include:

• Hydrocephalus
• Spina bifida
• Tethered cord
• Chiari malformations

While conducting surgery, I make minimal use of invasive techniques like neuroendoscopy that is used to treat hyderocephalus. Further the use of modern ICU facilities and experienced support team allow me to deliver better operative care to pediatric head injuries.

We are committed to the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of peripheral nerve problems like carpel tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy. Our goal is to:

• Maximize function
• Minimize suffering
• Help patients realize their full potential despite their affliction with difficult, painful & sometimes disabling peripheral nerve disorders

We offer Spinal Instrumentation which is a technique of keeping the spine stiff after spinal synthesis operation. It is a surgery done by attaching rods, hooks and wire to the spine in a manner that it spreads the pressure of the bones and maintains them in perfect position. These instruments are used for treating unsteadiness and malformation of the spine. The major usage of this instrument is to maintain the normal shape of the spine at the time of moving.

Spinal Tumours can involve any part of the spine and the linked structures from the neck down to the sacrum. Tumours that derive in the first example in the spine or spinal regions are said to be most important tumours. If the original tumour began in a different part of the anatomy and has stretched to the spinal area, it is referred to as a secondary or a metastases. Spinal tumors are neoplasms located in the spinal cord. They are mostly metastases from primary cancers elsewhere (commonly breast, prostate and lung cancer).
