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.

Spine Surgery

Overview

Spine surgery is a specialised field of medicine dedicated to diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the spine. The vertebral column is a complex structure comprising bones (vertebrae), discs, nerves, and muscles, all working together to provide stability and protect the spinal cord. When conservative treatments such as physical therapy, medication, or injections fail to relieve pain or restore function, surgical intervention may be considered.

Overview

Functional neurosurgery is a specialised branch of neurosurgery that focuses on improving neurological function and alleviating symptoms of various disorders through targeted surgical interventions. Unlike traditional neurosurgery, which primarily addresses structural abnormalities such as tumours or injuries, functional neurosurgery aims to enhance the quality of life for patients with conditions such as movement disorders, epilepsy, chronic pain, and certain psychiatric disorders.

Pediatric Neurosurgery Services at Apollo Hospitals

Overview

Pediatric neurosurgery is a specialized field that focuses on diagnosing and treating neurological disorders in children. This branch of medicine addresses a wide range of conditions affecting the brain, spine, and nervous system. Given the unique anatomical and physiological differences between children and adults, pediatric neurosurgery requires a specialized approach that considers the growth and development of young patients.

Neuro-Oncology

Neuro-oncology is a specialised field of medicine dedicated to diagnosing and treating brain and spinal cord tumours. Given the complexity of these tumours—which can be benign or malignant—a multidisciplinary approach involving neurologists, oncologists, and neurosurgeons is essential for optimal patient care.

Neuroimmunology Treatment & Care at Apollo Hospitals

Overview

Neuroimmunology is a specialized field of medicine focused on understanding and treating conditions where the immune system interacts with the nervous system. This innovative discipline explores the complex relationship between immune responses and neurological function, integrating expertise from neurology, immunology, and other medical specialties to provide comprehensive care for patients with autoimmune neurological disorders.

Epileptology

Overview

Epileptology is a specialised branch of neurology dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of epilepsy and seizure disorders. Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition characterised by recurrent seizures, which can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. The field of epileptology involves clinical evaluation, neuroimaging, electroencephalography (EEG), and the development of personalised treatment plans.
