- Cerebrovascular Surgery:
- Specialized surgery on the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain
- Helps diagnose and treat stroke, brain aneurysms, and other problems with the brain’s blood vessels
- Functional and Stereotactic Radiosurgery:
- Uses deep brain stimulation to treat functional abnormalities such as Parkinson’s, epilepsy, tremor, and small brain tumors
- Delivers precisely-targeted radiation in fewer high-dose treatments, preserving healthy tissue
- Minimally invasive skull base surgery:
- Uses endoscopic technology to remove malignant and benign tumors from the head, neck, and skull base areas
- Epilepsy Surgery:
- Considered when at least two anti-seizure medications have failed to control seizures
- It is most effective when seizures occur in a single location in the brain.
- Pediatric Neurosurgery:
- Expertise in treating pediatric spinal disorders such as spinal cord tumors, spinal deformities, and congenital abnormalities
- It also treats pediatric spinal trauma and spondylolisthesis.
- Minimally invasive spine surgery:
- Stabilizes vertebral bones and spinal joints, relieving pressure on spinal nerves
- Used for spinal instability, herniated discs, scoliosis, bone spurs, or tumors
- Neuro-oncology:
- Study of brain and spinal cord neoplasms
- Performed with high accuracy at Dr. Rao’s Hospital
- Best Neurosurgeon and Best Neurology Hospital Awards:
- Dr. Mohana Rao received the Best ICONIC Neurosurgeon of the Year award in 2022
- Dr. Rao’s Hospital received the Best Neurosurgery Hospital of the Year 2022
- Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery:
- Minimally invasive neurosurgery uses surgical techniques that allow surgeons access to the brain, spine, and skull base with minimal trauma. There are fewer scars as tiny incisions are made, enabling faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, and more quickly returning to everyday life.
- Importance of Time in Stroke:
- Immediate medical attention is very important post-stroke because treatment options become limited as time passes. Early medical attention can reduce the impact of a stroke or even save a life.
- Potential Problems After Brain Surgery:
- Seizure
- Severe headache
- Expectations After SBRT:
- Fatigue: You may feel fatigued for the first few days following SBRT.
- Swelling: Swelling at or around the treatment site can result in signs and symptoms such as increased discomfort for a short period.
- Healing Time for Spine Surgery:
- Bones require at least 3 to 4 months to mend properly following surgery; healing can take up to a year. If you get a spinal fusion and your job is not physically demanding, you will most likely be out of work for 4 to 6 weeks.
- Neurosurgery Services at Dr. Rao’s Hospital:
- Outpatient Wing: Provides diagnosis and care for patients who do not need overnight stays. Consult neurologists; neurosurgeons staff the branch.
- Inpatient Wing: Provides care for patients requiring immediate hospitalization.
- Daycare Unit: Offers daycare services for several neurological conditions, allowing patients to avoid overnight hospitalization for simple surgeries or therapies.
- Dedicated 20-bed Neuro ICU: Equipped with US FDA-Approved Equipment and dedicated to providing immediate care to patients with life-threatening neurological conditions.
- Interventional Neuroradiology Suite with Hybrid Operation Theatre: State-of-the-art suite for diagnosing and treating neurological disorders using catheters and radiology.
- 24-Hour Emergency Division: Equipped with highly qualified emergency staff, offering round-the-clock access to testing and treatment for neurotrauma cases.
