Spinal Fusion Surgery involves joining two or more vertebrae to eliminate motion between them, providing stability and reducing pain from spinal instability or deformity. -br The procedure can treat conditions like spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, or fractures. Bone grafts and implants such as rods or screws are used to facilitate fusion and long-term spinal alignment.

Skull base surgery is performed to remove cancer and non-cancer growths or the abnormal development inside the brain, the skull base, or the vertebrae of the spinal column. This is because the area is hard to see and reach. The skull is made up of bones and cartilage that develop the face and cranium, which surrounds the brain. In fact, the bone of the skull can easily be felt by touch on the top of the skull. The 5 bones that form the bottom base of the cranium also form the eye socket, top of the nasal cavity, some of the sinuses, and the bones around the inner ear. Moreover, the skull base is a complex and sensitive area that has various openings. Through these openings, many blood vessels, spinal cord, and nerves pass. -br Skull base surgery in India can be done through endoscopic procedure; therefore, it comes under a minimally invasive procedure. In this method, the surgeon inserts a special tool through the nose or through the mouth, or alternatively, the surgeon makes the hole above the eyebrow and inserts the tool from there. Importantly, this type of surgery is done under the supervision of skilled surgeons and a team of specialists.

A foraminotomy is a surgical intervention performed to relieve pressure on the nerve roots in the spine. Specifically, the procedure is used to open up the foramen or open the vertebra bone, a place where the nerve roots exit the spinal canal. In fact, the peripheral nervous system makes up the foramen, the nerve that exits the spinal canal. In case the foramen is narrow, the person can feel the nerve pain and other symptoms that may affect the movement. Therefore, a foraminotomy can be beneficial in relieving pressure and reducing pain. -br Furthermore, a foraminotomy in India is a surgical procedure that enlarges the area around one of the compressed nerves in the spinal column. The spine consists of a chain of bones known as vertebrae. The intervertebral disks are placed between vertebrae and work as a cushion. -br Sometimes, the compressed nerve can cause symptoms such as pain, tingling in the arms and legs, or weakness. Ultimately, the accurate symptoms depend on the location of the compressed nerve along the spinal column.

VP Shunting involves placing a catheter from the brain’s ventricles to the peritoneal cavity to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), relieving pressure. -br This procedure is commonly performed in hydrocephalus, where fluid accumulation leads to neurological symptoms. VP shunts are adjustable and can provide long-term CSF management.
Neurology and Spine
Spinal Disc Replacement involves replacing a damaged intervertebral disc with an artificial implant to restore spinal mobility and reduce pain. -br Unlike fusion, disc replacement maintains motion at the affected level, potentially reducing stress on adjacent vertebrae and minimizing long-term degeneration.

Cranioplasty is a surgical procedure that treats or repairs a defect in the skull. Skull is one of the most important and protective parts of the brain. The skull is the bone that surrounds and protects the brain. Cranioplasty helps to repair a defect in the skull that gives protection to the brain from getting damaged. Cranioplasty surgery is recommended after certain forms of brain surgery or any traumatic injury. The main aim of the cranioplasty procedure is to repair and reshape a defect in the skull. -br During the surgical intervention, the surgeon may perform:

Cervical spine surgery is performed to treat problems in the neck such as misalignment, compressed nerves, or spinal cord abnormalities. Some of the most common reasons to perform cervical spine surgery include:

Corpus Callosotomy is a surgical procedure to treat epilepsy. Epilepsy, which is a chronic medical condition, affects individuals for the long term and leads to recurrent seizures in both children and adults. Typically, the treatment is performed under the care of the best neurosurgeons in India. During the corpus callosotomy procedure, an incision is made through the brain's corpus callosum. The corpus callosum, which is a type of band of nerve fibers, joins the two halves of the brain (hemispheres) and relays messages from one hemisphere to the other. As a result, the corpus callosum prevents seizure signals from crossing back and forth between the two hemispheres, thus limiting the spread of seizure activity. This surgery is also known as callosal sectioning or brain splitting. -br Epilepsy surgery consists of various types, and corpus callosotomy is one of them. However, corpus callosotomy surgery is only recommended when antiseizure medications fail to relieve or treat the seizures effectively. In general, the entire procedure is performed under the supervision of experienced surgeons, involving a careful surgical cut of the band of fibers that join the two halves of the brain.

A brain biopsy is a method to diagnose brain illness. The procedure, in fact, involves the removal of a tumor or a piece of tissue from the brain to examine under a microscope. The main types of brain biopsy consist of:
Neurology and Spine
Myelopathy is a spinal cord compression, or an injury to the spinal cord. As a result, it can lead to pain, numbness, and problems in moving particular parts of the body. Myelopathy occurs due to traumatic injury, aging, or herniated disk. In fact, myelopathy symptoms can be severe and worsen if left untreated or ignored. -br Myelopathy in India is a group of symptoms caused by spinal cord compression or an injured spinal cord. When some pressure or force compresses the spinal cord, it becomes difficult to move properly. Consequently, this can lead to pain, loss of feeling, or problems in moving certain parts of the body. -br The spinal cord is a collection of nerves that travels messages between the brain and body. It is placed inside the hollow area of the spine. Furthermore, the bone in the spine acts as a shield of protection for the spinal cord. Vertebrae can become weak due to several diseases and conditions. -br For instance, the loss of feeling or a feeling of pins and needles in the hand after leaning on the elbow for too long may occur. However, this condition can become worse if it remains untreated.
