Minimally Invasive Surgery

Advanced Endoscopic Neurosurgery

We have been doing surgery for following diseases with endoscope (endoscopic or endoscope guided or endoscope assisted)

• Lumbar disc : Endoscope guided discectomy
• Cervical disc and spondylosis : : Endoscope guided decompreession
• Spinal Tumor : Tumor removal
• Fixed or Irreducible Atlano-Axial Dislocation : Odontoidectomy
• Thoracic Fracture : Decompression and fusion
• Tuberculosis spine (Pott’s spine) : Decompression and fusion
• Shuntless treatment of hydrocephalus : Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV)
• Shunted case where shunt was removed after endoscopic procedure : ETV
• Septate hydrocephalus : Ventricular Septoplasty
• Brain Tumor like Meningioma, Pineal region tumor : Tumor removal
• Colloid cyst of third ventricle : Endoscopic tumor removal
• Pituitary tumor : Tumor removal
• Intra cranial Aneurysm: Clipping of aneurysm
• Brain stem cavernous malformation : Excision of tumor
• CSF rhinorrhoea: Basal repair
• Fungal Sinusitis: FESS
• Tethered cord: Segment preserving release

Microsurgical Key hole Surgery

We have been using keyhole concept of approach for a variety of Brain and Spinal lesions

Stereotactic Surgery

Currently we use stereotaxy for

• Localization of brain lesions (helps in making exposure smaller)
• Biopsy of deep seated masses
• Deep Hematoma Evacuation ( avoids extensiveness of conventional surgery)
