The brain is one of the most interesting organs. The brain and spine are made up of nerve cells (neurons) that help with signal transmission. Any injury realted to nerve cells is treated under the neurosurgery department.
Neurosurgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on brain and spinal problems. Neuro-interventional surgery is a field of medicine that uses minimally invasive image-guided techniques to treat brain, head/neck, and spine problems.
Some of the most commonly treated conditions in our department are:
Brain hemorrhage
Stroke (Arterial and Venous)
Aneurysms of the brain
Arteriovenous malformation.
Cavernoma
Brain tumors (both malignant and benign).
Pituitary tumors
Deep brain stimulation to treat Parkinson's disease
Trigeminal neuralgia.
Low backache and cervical discomfort
Cervical and lumbar junction abnormalities
Cervical and Lumbar Microdiscectomies
Disc replacements.
Complex spinal fusions for spondylosis.
Spinal Tumor Microsurgery
Syringomyelia
Neurosurgeries Performed at Neurosurgery Hospital in Lucknow
Brain stroke (aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, ischemic stroke)
Neuro-interventional surgery is one of our distinguishing features at Charak Hospital Hospital in Lucknow, providing not just cutting-edge stroke treatment but also minimally invasive treatment for a wide range of neurovascular illnesses such as aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Traditional open-brain procedures are also performed according to the patient's choices.
Neuro-oncological neurosurgery (brain tumors)
Neuro-oncology is the surgical removal of brain tumors from challenging places. To remove the tumor without causing damage to normal brain areas, we use cutting-edge technology such as neuro microscopy, neuro navigation, and neuroelectrophysiology.
Skull Base Surgery
As the name implies, it is surgery for lesions in the brain's base. These malignancies necessitate technological precision and surgical monitoring techniques. For example, pituitary tumours are removed using neuronavigation and computer analysis of images collected the day before, and the procedure is performed through the nose using a neuro 3D endoscope and neuronavigation.
Interventional/Endovascular neurosurgery is a specialization of neurosurgery that uses catheters and radiography to diagnose and treat a variety of central nervous system disorders. These techniques are referred to as "minimally invasive" because they often involve only a small incision rather than the larger incision necessary for open surgery.
Endovascular neurosurgery techniques involve:
Thrombolytic therapy: This method involves the use of "clot-busting" medication to dissolve a clot in a blood artery in the brain or elsewhere in the body.
Endovascular coiling: A neurosurgeon inserts a very thin metal wire that forms a coil into a brain aneurysm to prevent blood flow. The majority of complicated aneurysms are treated using modern devices such as intracranial stents, balloons, flow diverters, and disruptors.
Cerebral angiography: is a radiology procedure that determines how well blood flows in the brain.
Carotid artery angioplasty/stenting: This technique employs a small balloon or a tiny metal scaffold known as a stent to open a restricted carotid artery, which feeds blood to the brain.
Neuro-Oncology
These include central nervous system tumors such as gliomas, meningiomas, vestibular schwannoma, central nervous system lymphoma, brain and spine metastases, and primary spinal cord tumors.
Endoscopic Neurosurgery
An endoscope is a tool that enables a surgeon to work through a small incision by providing remote viewing, illumination, and manipulation. Endoscopes are frequently used to reach brain tumors lying within or next to the lateral or third ventricles. Only the smallest tumors can be removed using an endoscope.
Trauma or surgery can cause persistent nerve injury or pain that lasts beyond the regular recovery period for the surgery. For example, chronic pain after surgery, trauma, amputation, or knee surgery.
Treatment for such people may include nerve removal and repair surgery. Nerve decompression surgery may be explored for patients who experience numbness, discomfort, and/or functional loss as a result of compressed nerves.
We treat each patient in the most effective and minimally invasive manner possible. We treat all forms of spinal diseases and manage them in the most appropriate manner, which may include spinal surgery or non-surgical management with medications, physiotherapy, and pain control using various spinal injection procedures. The Spine Care team conducts a thorough evaluation of patients and implements treatments tailored to their specific needs, such as microscopic spine surgery for less pain, blood loss, and faster recovery, as well as minimally invasive, pain-reducing, recovery-accelerating procedures for a variety of orthopedic and neurological conditions affecting the spine and spinal cord. World-renowned experience, cutting-edge technology, and scientifically proven treatment.
What we treat
Spine surgery performed at Spine Hospital in Lucknow
Back ache.
Leg discomfort.
Neck pain.
Arm ache.
Tingling sensation on the upper or lower limbs
Weakness of the upper or lower limbs
Having difficulty walking
Disc herniation
Cervical Myelopathy
Thoracic Myelopathy
Spondylolisthesis
Spine infection.
Spine tumors
Spinal fractures.
Pediatric spinal deformity
Adult spinal deformity.
Kyphosis (spinal bending) with scoliosis
A herniated/damaged disk in the lower back or neck is a frequent spinal problem. In this situation, the misplaced disc presses on a nerve that runs down the leg, resulting in severe leg pain, numbness, or weakening known as sciatica. To alleviate these symptoms, the affected disk fragment is removed using a spinal endoscope/microscope. This treatment is known as an endoscopic or microdiscectomy.
Spine Tumors Our center receives referrals from all around the country, including neighboring countries. The most common among these include:
Schwannomas
Paragangliomas
Meningiomas
Bone tumors in the spine, either metastatic or primary.
We treat these malignancies using a comprehensive, holistic approach. The treatment is tailored to each patient's specific needs. Because we work from the CV Junction to the sacrum, we use neuromonitoring and neuronavigation to remove these malignancies accurately and optimally. Neuromonitoring of all relevant nerves is performed to improve safety and prevent harm.
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) does not require a large incision and prevents major harm to the muscles around the spine. In most situations, this leads to reduced discomfort after surgery, less blood loss, a shorter hospital stay, and a quicker recovery.
In appropriate patients, we use minimally invasive endoscopic/microscopic methods for prolapsed lumbar discs and lumbar fusions.
Charak Hospital is the top Pediatric neurosurgery hospital in Lucknow. It is one of the finest multifunctional institutes in its field, with extensive expertise, skill, and cutting-edge treatments that provide hope to children and their families. We treat children born with malformations of the brain, spinal cord, skull, and spinal deformities, including Hydrocephalus (the accumulation of abnormal water in the brain). Cyst from birth, like an arachnoid cyst. Meningomyelocele (lower-back swelling after birth) Tethered cord Cerebral palsies Tumors Nerve injury.
Functional Neurosurgery
This section of neurosurgery treats illnesses such as:
Trigeminal neuralgia (facial pain) is treated microsurgically by removing the problematic artery from the nerve.
Microsurgery can also be used to treat epilepsy that has not responded to treatment.
Deep Brain Stimulation is a surgical treatment used to treat advanced Parkinson's disease. Essentially, it can deliver medicine in lower amounts to the location where it is required, significantly increasing the patient's quality of life.
Similarly, we implant baclofen and morphine pumps to aid patients with intractable leg stiffness and back pain.
Brain & Spine Trauma
Trauma to the brain and spine can be lethal if not treated immediately. Immediate intervention and the availability of neurosurgeons are critical to save a life. We have in-house X-rays, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, a neurosurgical operating room, a critical care unit, and a team that is always prepared to handle such instances. We have comprehensive processes in place to do these complex, time-consuming surgeries. We also provide a thorough neurorehabilitation program.
