Surgical treatments for various brain conditions

Skull Base Surgery:

A procedure to remove tumours or repair issues at the base of the skull using advanced techniques.

Aneurysms:

Surgical repair or management of weakened blood vessels in the brain to prevent rupture.

Endonasal Surgeries:

Minimally invasive procedures to remove tumours or abnormalities through the nasal passage.

Brain Injury & Trauma Treatments

Hematoma:

Removal of blood clots from the brain to prevent further neurological damage.

Brain Lesions Management:

Surgical and medical approaches to treat abnormal brain tissue growths.

Tumour Treatments

Tumours:

Comprehensive surgical and non-surgical treatments for both benign and malignant brain tumours.

Biopsies:

Safe tissue sampling to diagnose neurological diseases like brain tumours.

Functional Neurosurgery

DBS :
