Neurosurgery or neurological surgery, known in common parlance as brain surgery. Neurosurgery is the medical specialty concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders. This disorders affect any portion of the nervous system including the brain, spinal cord, central and peripheral nervous system, and cerebrovascular system .
Neurosurgery is one of the more recent surgical disciplines to develop, originally gaining recognition in the early 1900s. However, it is now one of the most cutting edge medical disciplines in the world of science and medicine . Neurosurgery involves the use of some of the most advanced technologies currently available.
A major part of diagnosing and evaluating patients in neurology involves the use of imaging studies such as computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and angiograms.
The Neurosurgery department is equipped with most modern zeiss kinevo 900 microscope with facility for intraoperative staining of tumours with yellow 560 stain and intraoperative angiography for cerebrovascalar malformations using ICG dye. This allows safe excision of tumors.IONM (I-Intraoperative neuromonitoring ) helps in safe brain and spine surgery by constant monitoring.Navigation guided surgery performed in selected area.
