Department of Neurospine surgery
Neurospine surgery is a specialized branch of neurosurgery that focuses on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of disorders affecting the spine, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. It involves managing conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spinal tumors, trauma, and degenerative spine diseases. Neurospine surgeons use advanced techniques, including minimally invasive and image-guided procedures, to ensure precise treatment while aiming to preserve neurological function and improve the patient’s quality of life.
Common Conditions Treated in Neurospine Surgery:
Degenerative Spine Diseases: Herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis
Spinal Tumors: Intramedullary, intradural, or extradural tumors
Spinal Trauma: Fractures, dislocations, and spinal cord injuries
Spinal Infections: Tuberculosis (Pott's spine), discitis, osteomyelitis
Congenital Abnormalities: Spina bifida, tethered cord syndrome
Deformities: Scoliosis, kyphosis
Neurospine surgery is a constantly evolving field, incorporating cutting-edge technologies like neuronavigation, robotics, and intraoperative neuromonitoring to enhance precision and patient outcomes.
