Procedures for Neurosurgery Treatment

The main procedures under Neurosurgery treatment include:

Minimally invasive spine surgery: Minimally invasive spine surgery involves a small incision and use of advanced computer technology and specialized instruments to repair back and spine conditions. In microscopic surgery, minimally invasive techniques are combined with highly advanced, cutting-edge surgical microscopes to access even the most delicate areas with precision.

Minimally invasive surgery is one of the best Neurosurgery treatment at AMRI Hospitals, Best neurology hospitlas in Kolkata that offers patients:

• Faster recovery
• Less chance of infection
• Reduced blood loss
• Minimal scarring
• Faster return to your regular lifestyle

1. Microdiscectomy: Probably the most popular neurosurgery in India, a microdiscetomy is performed to treat patients with painful herniated discs in the lumbar region.

2.Spinal nerve decompression: In nerve decompression surgery, the neurosurgeon relieves the pressure on the nerve caused by a neuroma by making tunnels around it. This way, despite being still swollen, there is no pressure on the nerve from surrounding parts in your body, helping the nerve to start working normally again.

Patients suffering from numbness, pain, or functional loss from entrapped nerve, who have not found relief through other neurosurgery may consider nerve decompression surgery. It is important to note that most patients need to undergo repeat neurosensory testing 1-3 months after surgery. This helps to know if the nerves are repairing properly and if function is improving. People with diabetes must undergo neurosensory testing every year to detect possible new nerve damage and keep in check existing nerve damage.

3.Spinal fusion: There are different types of Spinal fusion neurosurgery such as lumbar spinal fusion, cervical spinal fusion. Though each surgery is different depending on the disease or condition being treated, the main aim is to reduce the pain caused by the joints.

4.Craniotomy for brain tumor: A craniotomy is an opening of the skull used in many types of procedures, including brain tumor removal, blood vessel disease surgeries, removal of traumatic hematomas, and epilepsy surgeries. In this surgical procedure, usually the bone is reserved to be fixed into place later on at the end of the surgical procedure.

5.Laminectomy: A minimally invasive neurosurgery treatment in India, a laminectomy requires only small incisions in the skin that are used to access and remove a part of the vertebral bone called the lamina. Also known as decompression surgery, this neurosurgery treatment in India is quite common for people with severe chronic back pain.

6.Pituitary tumor surgery: Pituitary tumor surgery is the treatment of tumors of the pituitary gland. In most cases, pituitary adenomas are benign and are easily cured by surgical means without much affecting the normal gland.

7.Trigeminal neuralgia surgery: Trigeminal neuralgia surgery is performed to cure disorder of a trigeminal nerve at the side of the head. In this condition, patient suffers from intense, stabbing pain in the lips, eyes, nose, scalp, forehead and jaw. Though the first treatment for trigeminal neuralgia is usually drug therapy, however, for some patients, it doesn’t work out and doctors go for surgically damaging nerve that is causing the pain.

8.Ventriculostomy: Ventriculostomy is a neurosurgical treatment in India in which surgeon creates a hole within a cerebral ventricle for drainage. There are two ways of drainage. When catheter drainage is temporary, it is commonly referred to as an external ventricular drain, or EVD. And when the drainage is permanent, it is called a shunt.

Physical exercises- Some form of physical exercise is a must for a healthy body and nervous system.

Keep check on conditions like Diabetes and high blood pressure that can have adverse effect on the nervous system functioning.

Avoid smoking and other tobacco products.

Eat a healthy, balanced diet with ample sources of minerals and vitamins like B6, B12, and folate that will help protect the nervous system.

Drink plenty of water and other fluids to keep yourself hydrated.

Limit use of nonprescription medicines as overuse of medicines could often be the biggest cause of nervous system problems in older adults.
