Aneurysm Surgery
Brain aneurysm repair is a surgical procedure to correct an aneurysm, a weak area in a blood vessel wall that causes the blood vessel to bulge or balloon out and sometimes burst (rupture). It may cause: Bleeding into an area around the brain (also called a subarachnoid hemorrhage) Bleeding in the brain that forms a collection of blood (hematoma). Brain aneurysm repair by clipping of the aneurysm by surgery is routinely done at Sobti Neuro Hospital using the neurosurgical microscope with the best success rate in North India of more than 95%. The hospital has done around 500 successful brain aneurysm surgeries. The patient goes home walking 3 days after the surgery.
Brain Tumors
A brain tumor is an intracranial solid neoplasm, a tumor (defined as an abnormal growth of cells) within the brain or the central spinal canal. Some tumors are brain cancers. Brain tumors include all tumors inside the human skull (cranium). Surgery for various Brain Tumors is routinely done at Sobti Neuro Hospital. Surgery is the most effective treatment for brain tumors and Sobti Hospital's team of expert neurosurgeons has safely and effectively operated on even the most challenging brain tumors using latest neurosurgical microscope. There are more than 5000 successful cases of brain tumors operated at Sobti Hospital.
Brain Hemorrhage
The term "brain haemorrhage" means a sudden and spontaneous accumulation of blood in the brain. The symptoms of a brain hemorrhage can vary. They depend on the location of the bleeding, the severity of the bleeding, and the amount of tissue affected. Symptoms may develop suddenly or over time. They may progressively worsen or suddenly appear. Treatment for bleeding in the brain depends on the location, cause, and extent. There are lots of patients with brain hemorrhage coming to Sobti Hospital routinely. The brain hemorrhage is diagnosed immediately and the patients are treated as required both with or without surgery.
Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM)
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins, bypassing the capillary system. AVMs become symptomatic as they can cause intense pain or bleeding in the brain or lead to seizures. Sobti Hospital has treated a good number of patients with AVM in brain who presented with brain haemorrhage or seizures at the hospital. Surgery was done in patients who required it.
Pituitary Surgery Through Nose
The main treatment for many pituitary tumors is surgery. In this approach, the neurosurgeon at Sobti Hospital makes a small incision under the upper lip and the whole pituitary tumor is removed from the brain using the neurosurgical microscope or endoscope. The hospital has done around 1000 cases of pituitary tumors with a success rate of more than 98%.
Head Injury
The term "brain haemorrhage" means a sudden and spontaneous accumulation of blood in the brain. The symptoms of a brain hemorrhage can vary. They depend on the location of the bleeding, the severity of the bleeding, and the amount of tissue affected. Symptoms may develop suddenly or over time. They may progressively worsen or suddenly appear. Treatment for bleeding in the brain depends on the location, cause, and extent. There are lots of patients with brain hemorrhage coming to Sobti Hospital routinely. The brain hemorrhage is diagnosed immediately and the patients are treated as required both with or without surgery.
Hydrocephalus Surgery
The neurosurgery team at Sobti Neuro Hospital performs the surgery for hydrocephalus under general anesthesia and it takes less than an hour. There are lots of patients including new borns who have been treated successfully for hydrocephalus. Immediately after surgery, the patient will be taken to the post-anesthesia care unit. They will stay there for close observation for sometime and then be taken to their room. Most patients leave the hospital within 2 to 7 days, depending on their clinical progress.
Congenital Brain Abnormalities
Congenital abnormalities, called malformations, are conditions that are present at birth (congenital). There are numerous congenital malformations of the head and spine. Many patients with such congenital abnormalities visit the hospital and they are managed very well surgically or non surgically as required. The purpose of surgery is to correct the physical formation and maximize the functionality for the child to prevent development of neurological deficits. Sobti Neuro and Super Speciality Hospital has successfully treated many cases of children with congenital brain and spine malformations.
