Vascular Neurosurgery

Overview

Vascular neurosurgery is a specialised field dedicated to diagnosing and treating vascular disorders of the brain and spinal cord. These conditions include aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), carotid artery disease, and other vascular abnormalities that may lead to stroke, haemorrhage, or neurological deficits. The primary goal of vascular neurosurgery is to restore normal blood flow, prevent life-threatening complications, and enhance the patient's overall quality of life.

At Apollo Hospitals, we recognise the complexities of vascular conditions and are committed to delivering world-class care. With state-of-the-art facilities, cutting-edge technology, and a highly skilled team of specialists, we provide personalised treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs.

Treatment Options for Vascular Neurosurgery

At Apollo Hospitals, we offer a wide range of treatment options designed to provide the most effective and least invasive care possible. Treatment plans are personalised based on the patient's condition, overall health, and treatment goals.

• Endovascular Surgery

  This minimally invasive procedure involves threading a catheter through the blood vessels to treat conditions such as aneurysms and AVMs. Endovascular techniques reduce the need for open surgery, resulting in shorter recovery periods and fewer complications.

• Microsurgical Techniques

  For certain complex vascular conditions, open surgery may be necessary. Our neurosurgeons employ advanced microsurgical techniques to repair affected blood vessels while minimising damage to surrounding tissues.

• Stereotactic Radiosurgery

  This non-invasive treatment uses highly focused radiation beams to treat vascular malformations such as AVMs. Stereotactic radiosurgery is performed on an outpatient basis and is an excellent alternative for patients unsuitable for traditional surgery.

• Medication Management

  For some vascular conditions, medications can help manage symptoms, control blood pressure, and reduce the risk of further complications. Our specialists will prescribe a tailored regimen based on your condition.

• Rehabilitation & Recovery Support

  Post-treatment rehabilitation is crucial for restoring function and quality of life. Our dedicated rehabilitation team provides physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to support patients in regaining independence and mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is vascular neurosurgery?

  Vascular neurosurgery focuses on treating blood vessel disorders of the brain and spinal cord, including aneurysms, AVMs, and carotid artery disease.

• What conditions are treated in vascular neurosurgery?

  Common conditions include brain aneurysms, AVMs, carotid artery disease, and other vascular abnormalities affecting blood flow to the brain.

• What are the treatment options available?

  Treatments range from endovascular surgery and microsurgery to stereotactic radiosurgery, medication management, and rehabilitation services.

• Is vascular neurosurgery safe?

  Yes, when performed by experienced specialists using advanced technology, vascular neurosurgery is generally safe. We take every precaution to minimise risks.

• How long is the recovery period after vascular surgery?

  Recovery time varies depending on the procedure. Minimally invasive techniques typically have shorter recovery periods compared to open surgery.

• Will I need rehabilitation after treatment?

  In many cases, rehabilitation is essential for recovery. We offer comprehensive rehabilitation services to help patients regain function and mobility.

• How can I prepare for my vascular neurosurgery appointment?

  Our team will guide you through pre-surgical preparations, including discussing your medical history, medications, and any necessary lifestyle adjustments.

• What should I expect during the procedure?

  Depending on the type of surgery, you will be under anaesthesia or sedation. Our team will monitor you closely throughout the procedure to ensure your safety.

• What are the risks associated with vascular neurosurgery?

  As with any surgery, risks include infection, bleeding, or neurological complications. Our experts will discuss these risks in detail before proceeding.
