Brain Surgery at Vedanta Multispeciality Hospital, Bulandshahr

What Is Brain Surgery?

Brain surgery, also known as neurosurgery, is a specialized medical procedure performed to treat various conditions affecting the brain, such as tumors, aneurysms, epilepsy, and traumatic injuries. This surgical intervention is often necessary when medication or other non-surgical treatments fail to provide relief. At Vedanta Multispeciality Hospital, Bulandshahr, we offer advanced and minimally invasive brain surgery procedures, ensuring optimal care and recovery for our patients.

1. Carniotomy

A craniotomy involves making an incision in the scalp and temporarily removing a piece of the skull to access the brain. It is commonly performed for:

  • Brain tumor removal

  • Brain aneurysm repair

  • Epilepsy treatment

  • Traumatic brain injury

  • Removing blood clots or hemorrhages

2. Endoscopic Brain Surgery

Also known as minimally invasive brain surgery, this procedure utilizes a small camera (endoscope) inserted through tiny incisions or natural openings like the nostrils to access and operate on the brain. It is beneficial for

  • Pituitary gland tumors
  • Hydrocephalus treatment
  • Skull base surgeries

3. Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)

A non-invasive procedure that uses highly focused radiation beams to treat brain tumors and abnormalities without incisions. Types of SRS include:

  • Gamma Knife Radiosurgery: Treats small to medium-sized brain tumors.

  • CyberKnife Radiosurgery: Used for irregularly shaped tumors.

4. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

A procedure in which electrodes are implanted into specific areas of the brain and connected to a pacemaker-like device to regulate abnormal brain activity. DBS is commonly used for:

  • Parkinson’s disease

  • Essential tremors

  • Dystonia

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

5. Brain Aneurysm Repair

For patients suffering from brain aneurysms, surgery may involve:

  • Clipping: A metal clip is placed at the base of the aneurysm to stop blood flow.

  • Coiling (Endovascular Embolization): Tiny coils are inserted into the aneurysm via a catheter to block it.

6. Hemicraniectomy

This procedure involves removing a portion of the skull to relieve pressure caused by brain swelling due to severe injuries or strokes.

7. Neuroendoscopy

A minimally invasive technique that allows surgeons to remove tumors or cysts from deep within the brain with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.

Brain Surgery Survival Rate

A minimally invasive technique that allows surgeons to remove tumors or cysts from deep within the brain with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.

  • Brain Tumor Surgery: The survival rate for benign tumors is over 90%, whereas malignant brain tumors have a 5-year survival rate of 36% to 70% based on the tumor type and stage.

  • Aneurysm Clipping/Coiling: Success rates are around 80-90% if detected and treated early.

  • Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): Over 80% of patients experience significant symptom improvement.

  • Craniotomy for Traumatic Brain Injury: Survival rates depend on severity, but early intervention greatly improves outcomes.

Prevalence of Brain-Related Issues in India

Brain-related disorders, including strokes, epilepsy, and tumors, affect a significant portion of the Indian population.

  • Neurological disorders affect over 30 million people in India.

  • Around 40% of all neurological cases involve brain disorders.

  • Stroke is the leading neurological cause of disability, affecting 1.8 million people annually.

  • Brain tumors occur in approximately 5-10 per 100,000 individuals in India.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brain Surgery (FAQs)

Is brain surgery safe?

Brain surgery is a complex procedure but is generally safe when performed by experienced neurosurgeons using advanced technology.

Recovery varies based on the type of surgery but typically takes 4 to 8 weeks for minor procedures and up to 6 months to a year for major surgeries.

Possible side effects include headaches, dizziness, memory issues, and fatigue. Most are temporary and improve with rehabilitation.

Risks include infection, bleeding, swelling, seizures, or neurological deficits. However, modern surgical techniques have reduced these risks significantly.

In many cases, surgery can significantly reduce or completely eliminate seizures, improving the patient’s quality of life.

Patients should follow a healthy diet, engage in mild physical activity, get adequate rest, and attend follow-up appointments regularly.
