NEUROLOGICAL SURGERY
Overview :
The department of neurosurgery provides comprehensive and multidisciplinary management of brain and spine disorders.
We are a centre of excellence in surgeries for complex brain and spine tumours using advanced intraoperative neuromonitoring, awake craniotomy techniques, high resolution neuromicroscope and complex skullbase surgery using advanced nasal endoscope system.
We have also started Deep Brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson disease, tremor, dystonia.
