Services/Treatments
Interventional Neuroradiology
Apollo Hospitals, provide state of the art Interventional neuroradiology services like diagnostic angiograms, carotid artery stenting, coiling of aneurysms, Â clot retrieval mechanical devices to help patients in various neurological disorders.
Spine & Back Care
We treat a full range of spine, back and neck conditions from back pain to spinal tumours. We specialize in minimally invasive procedures to spinal stenosis, disc herniation and other degenerative spine conditions. We offer microscopic and endoscopic spine procedures to treat various spinal disorders. We have an advanced treatment platform called ‘Spinal navigation system’ wherein surgeons can perform complex spinal procedures with an accuracy of a millimetre without any adverse effect on the spinal cord or nerve roots.  We have the intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring system which ensures good outcomes for patient undergoing intramedullary tumor surgery and spinal cord detethering surgery.
Brain Injury & Critical Care
Traumatic brain injuries can be devastating to the family. The key to a successful outcome is the early starting of treatment for these patients in a tertiary care centre. Apollo Hospitals has one of the busiest brain injury centres offering state-of-the-art treatment. Apollo Hospitals has a level-1 trauma centre catering to a large population. A round-the-clock CT/MRI scan ensure complete diagnostic back up. A well monitored Neurosurgical ICU makes the recovery faster and complete. A comprehensive head injury rehabilitation programme ensures early return to normal life.
Critical Care
Critical care is the corner stone of success for any neurological practice. We are fortunate enough to have a dedicated neurosurgical ICU to cater to every serious disease of the brain and spine. There is round-the-clock care comprising of neurosurgeons, neuro critical care physicians and neuro-anaesthetists to help your loved ones recover faster and re-join normal life.
MICRO & NEUROSURGERY
With operating microscopes in laminar guided air flow operating rooms, Apollo Hospitals offers the best in micro-neurosurgery. Almost all procedures in brain and spine are done under the magnification provided by the microscope. With the use of a microscope there is less damage to a normal brain or spinal cord surrounding the area of abnormality. Patients have a smooth recovery and lower incidence of surgery induced deficits. The hospital stay is reduced and thus the cost to the patient is lower.
Skull Base Surgery
(Complex procedures at the base of the brain involving the bone and blood vessels)
Tumors of the skull base are often the most difficult to treat. Surgery is complex due to the critical location of the tumor in terms of proximity to vital blood vessels, nerves and requires a team of surgeons – Neurosurgeon, Head & Neck surgeon, Plastic surgeon and Vascular surgeon. With the latest in high-speed drills and saws, we are indeed well equipped for these procedures.
Neuro Intensive Care
Equipped with a fifty bed Intensive Care Unit, the neurosurgical department has a state-of-the-art neuro-intensive care unit – with modern ventilators, for adults and children and the latest invasive and non-invasive facilities for monitoring of vital functions. A committed team of intensivists, pulmonologists, infectious diseases specialists, nephrologists and cardiologists provide support round the clock.
Spinal Cord Tumor Surgery
Spinal tumors are among the tumors most difficult to treat, as the spinal cord is highly fragile and controls functioning of the limbs. Using micro-neurosurgery, tumors in and around the spinal cord are removed, with minimal risk to the spinal cord
Surgery For Stroke/Stroke Prevention
Apollo Hospitals is one of the few centers where surgery is performed for stroke-bleeding into the brain or for very large cerebral infarcts-to remove the clots. As part of the comprehensive stroke prevention program, carotid endarterectomy surgery is offered to patients with carotid atherosclerotic disease, where there is high risk of a stroke.
Surgery for The Acute Head Injury And Spinal Injuries
With one of the highest incidences of poly-trauma occurring in India, Apollo Hospitals leads in managing these complex problems. With a team of orthopaedic, facio-maxillary, plastic general surgeons and neurosurgeons on call round the clock, prompt and efficient treatment is available to all these patients. Reconstructive surgery is also available for patients with deformity.
Endovascular Neurosurgery (Brain Angioplasty)
A special technique is now available to perform angiography to visualize the blood vessels of the brain and spine. Here we access the abnormal brain and spine areas through the vascular lumen using a variety of magic catheters. This technique facilitates the treatment of a variety of aneurysms, AVMs and other vascular anomalies.
Vertebroplasty
Vertebroplasty is an image-guided, minimally invasive, nonsurgical therapy used to strengthen the vertebra (spinal bone) weakened by osteoporosis, or cancer. Vetebroplasty can increase the patient’s functional abilities, allow them to return to the previous level of activity, and prevent further vertebral collapse. It is usually successful at alleviating the pain. Performed as an outpatient procedure vertebroplasty is accomplished by injecting a bone cement mixture through a needle into the fractured bone.
