Department of Brain and Spine
At GK Hospital, our multidisciplinary neurosurgery team is equipped with the latest technologies to treat a wide range of conditions that affect the brain and the spine, including tumours and lesions. Our top-ranked neurosurgeons are available 24×7 to provide immediate care for trauma, accident cases with head and spinal cord injuries and neurological emergencies.
To offer patients the best neuro services, our specialists are part of a multidisciplinary group of experts from different specialties, which enables them to provide comprehensive care. The team may include doctors skilled in interventional neurology, general surgery, anaesthesia, orthopaedic surgery, brain and nervous system imaging and pain medicine.
We, at Gk, believe in an approach that ensures the right care for the patient at the very first time itself in terms of diagnosis, therapies and outcomes for brain, spine and nervous system disorders. In order to successfully accomplish this, accurate diagnosis plays a key role.
Our neurologists work closely with radiologists who are trained in the use of innovative and highly advanced imaging technologies, to precisely pinpoint the cause of the signs and symptoms being displayed by the patient. The team then evaluates the results, assessing the problem from all perspectives, before coming up with a comprehensive, tailor-made treatment plan that perfectly meets the patient’s needs.
Aiming to be among the leading brain and spine hospitals in Hyderabad, Our neurosurgeons use advanced techniques and technologies such as image guided planning and intraoperative navigation, to evaluate and treat neurological conditions. Our expert team is adept at providing surgical solutions that serve to restore function, offer pain relief or eliminate the risk of tumours recurring in the brain or spine.
Advanced procedures for the best neuro treatments
Our neurosurgeons use world class equipment and technologies to access even the deepest recesses of the brain, skull base, or spinal cord to treat diseases and disorders while ensuring the fragile parts are not damaged or affected in any way.
CONDITIONS TREATED
Brain Stroke
Also referred to as a “brain attack,” it is a medical emergency caused by either too little or too much blood flowing to the brain. It needs to be treated immediately.
Pathological Spine Injuries
Due to constant wear and tear, the spine experiences degeneration over time. The spine conditions include degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, spinal arthritis, myelopathy, herniation of spinal discs and fractured vertebrae.
Hydrocephalus
It is a condition caused by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the ventricles of the brain, which leads to swelling and increased pressure on the brain. It can damage brain tissues and impair functions of the brain.
Brain Trauma
A major accident or fall or violent attack may result in head injury and brain damage. The damage can be focal (confined to one area) or diffused (occuring in more than one area of the brain).
Spinal Cord Tumours
A spinal cord tumour may form inside the spinal cord itself (intradural tumour) or around the bones that make up the spine (vertebral tumour). Spinal tumours can cause pain, neurological problems, paralysis, permanent disability or can even be life-threatening.
Traumatic Spine Injuries
These are traumatic injuries that bruise, partially or completely tear the spinal cord, and are usually caused by falls, motor accidents, sports injuries or an abscess on the spinal cord.
Movement Disorders
These are neurological conditions that cause abnormal increased movements or slow movements. Common disorders include ataxia, dystonia, Parkinson’s disease and tremor.
Vascular Malformations
Rare abnormalities of blood vessels in the brain or spinal cord, these include Arterio Venous Malformation (AVM) which is an abnormal tangling of blood vessels connecting arteries and veins. It may cause seizures, bleeding, paralysis.
Brain Tumours
A mass or growth of abnormal cells in the brain, it can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Treatment depends on the type of tumor as well as its size and location.
Cerebral Aneurysm
An abnormal ballooning in the wall of a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain, an aneurysm can burst, causing internal bleeding and could even prove fatal. Treatments include Clipping, Coiling or Wrapping.
Spinal Cord Compression
Spinal cord compression is caused by any condition that puts pressure on the spinal cord and can occur anywhere from neck (cervical spine) down to the lower back (lumbar spine). It causes numbness, pain, or weakness of the limbs.
Spine Infections
Caused by bacterial or fungal infection in another part of the body that has been carried into the spine through the bloodstream, these include vertebral osteomyelitis, intervertebral disc space infections, and epidural abscess.
