Considerations Before Neurosurgical Treatment

• Imaging Requirements: Contrast-enhanced MRI or CT scans are typically needed for accurate diagnosis.

• Medical Clearance: Patients with comorbidities may require pre-surgical evaluation and clearance.
• Recovery Planning: Neurosurgical cases often need inpatient rehab or longer hospital stays post-op.

Common Neurosurgical Spine Procedures Offered

1. Spinal Cord Decompression

Microsurgical techniques relieve pressure on the spinal cord caused by tumors, trauma, or severe stenosis. Intraoperative monitoring ensures maximum safety during the procedure.

2. Spinal Tumor Resection

Treatment for benign and malignant spinal tumors involving precise removal with minimal risk to surrounding neurological structures.

3. Microsurgical Laminectomy

A minimally invasive alternative to traditional open surgery for patients with spinal stenosis or nerve root impingement.

4. Dural Repair Surgery

Addresses spinal fluid leaks and dural tears, which may occur post-injury or due to structural deterioration.

5. Spine-Neuro Rehabilitation Integration

Combines physical therapy, occupational therapy, and neurorehabilitation to restore movement, balance, and nerve function post-surgery.
