About Neurosurgery in Chennai

Neurosurgeons operate on the brain, spinal cord and nerves — treating brain tumours, hydrocephalus, head injuries, some movement disorders and spinal conditions. These operations are highly specialised and planned carefully with detailed imaging. All 3 neurosurgery treatments on Go Surgery usually need more than one night in hospital; each treatment page gives the typical stay.

Modern neurosurgery uses navigation systems, operating microscopes and, where appropriate, minimally invasive approaches to reduce the impact on surrounding healthy tissue. Recovery and outlook depend heavily on the underlying condition.

Treatments

Craniotomy for Brain Tumour

A section of skull is temporarily removed to access and remove a brain tumour, using navigation and microscopes to protect healthy brain.

VP Shunt

A thin tube drains excess fluid from the brain's ventricles to the abdomen to treat hydrocephalus.

Deep Brain Stimulation

Electrodes implanted in specific brain areas deliver electrical impulses to reduce symptoms of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease.
