Tests and Procedures
Our neurosurgery center stands at the forefront of medical science, addressing complex conditions of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves with precision and innovation. We combine advanced technology with patient-centered approaches to deliver the highest standard of care.
Diagnostic Tests in Neurosurgery
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): A cornerstone in neurosurgery, MRI provides detailed images of the brain and spinal cord without radiation, which is crucial for identifying tumors, vascular irregularities, and other conditions.
- Computed Tomography (CT) Scan: CT scans offer rapid imaging of the skull and brain, essential for diagnosing hemorrhages, fractures, and acute conditions in emergencies.
- Cerebral Angiography: This test visualizes brain blood vessels, identifying aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and stenosis, guiding surgical planning at our center for neurosurgery.
- Electroencephalography (EEG): EEG measures brain electrical activity, which is critical for diagnosing epilepsy and monitoring brain function.
- Lumbar Puncture: This procedure collects cerebrospinal fluid to diagnose infections, bleeding, and other conditions affecting the brain and spinal cord.
Advanced Neurosurgical Techniques
- Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): Involves implanting electrodes to modulate brain signals, treating Parkinson’s disease, tremors, and dystonia.
- Neuroendoscopy: A minimally invasive approach for conditions like hydrocephalus and brain cysts, using small cameras and instruments.
- Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery: Performed at our center for minimally invasive neurosurgery, this technique uses smaller incisions to reduce tissue damage and speed recovery for conditions like herniated discs.
Postoperative Care and Rehabilitation
Postoperative care at our neurosurgery center focuses on pain management, complication prevention, and rehabilitation. Tailored physical therapy and support services help patients regain strength, mobility, and function after neurosurgery procedures.
