The Neurology and Neurosurgery Centers of Excellence at Hospitals in India, are headed by world-renowned consultants backed by outstanding clinical staff and sophisticated equipment. The hospitals investigate and treat diseases affecting the brain, spinal cord, muscles and nerves. The extremely competent neurologists and neurosurgeons provide expert care for treatment of brain tumors, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, movement disorders, vestibular diseases, stroke and headaches.
Highlights of our partner Neurosurgery and Neurology hospitals in India
Has Asia's largest sleep lab (polysomnography) Uses the most advanced diagnostic techniques including LINAC, Single Photon Emmission Computed Tomography (SPECT), Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) to name a few Performs minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of vascular diseases.
Neurosurgery has undergone a sea change since the days of Harvey Cushing. The development of bipolar cautery, the use of the surgical microscope, the availability of the ultrasonic surgical aspirator have all contributed to decreasing morbidity and mortality. Advances in neuroanaesthesia, neurosurgical intensive care and neuro-imaging technology have played a significant role. We are now in the age of Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery. The goal and the aims of treatment have shifted. It is no longer enough to save life but preserving of all functions, cosmesis , reducing pain, shorter hospital stay and avoiding discomfort are all equally important.
The Centre of Excellence of Neurology and Neurosurgery at our hospitals in India is equipped with facilities at par with the best in the world. The most modern technology and equipment is provided to cover the entire range of neurological diseases. About 1000 major neurosurgical operations are being carried out every year.

Stereotactic Radio Surgery at Neurosurgery hospitals in India
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) treats brain disorders with a precise delivery of a single, high dose of radiation in a single-day session. Focused radiation beams are delivered to a specific area of the brain to treat abnormalities, tumors or functional disorders.
Fractionated stereotactic radiation treatments which are received over a period of days or weeks may be administered to the body with the assistance of removable masks and frames that achieve a lesser degree of immobilization. Stereotactic radiosurgery is limited to the head and neck, because these areas can be immobilized with skeletal fixation devices that completely restrict the head's movement, permitting the most precise and accurate treatment.
Radiosurgery (single-session treatment) has such a dramatic effecton the target zone that the changes are considered "surgical." Through the use of three-dimensional computer-aided planning and the high degree of immobilization, the treatment can minimize the amount of radiation that passes through healthy brain tissue. Stereotactic radiosurgery is routinely used to treat brain tumors and lesions. It may be the primary treatment, used when a tumor is inaccessible by surgical means; or as a boost or adjunct to other treatments for a recurring or malignant tumor.
How it Works
Stereotactic Radiosurgery works the same as all other forms of radiation treatment. It does not remove the tumor or lesion, but it distorts the DNA of the tumor cells. The cells then lose their ability to reproduce and retain fluids. The tumor reduction occurs at the rate of normal growth for the specific tumor cell. In lesions such as AVMs (a tangle of blood vessels in the brain), radiosurgery causes the blood vessels to thicken and close off. The shrinking of a tumor or closing off of a vessel occurs over a period of time. For benign tumors and vessels, this will usually be in about 18 months to two years. For malignant or metastatic tumors, results may be seen in a few months, because these cells are very fast-growing.
Indications
Stereotactic Radiosurgery at hospital in India may or may not be appropriate for a condition. It may be used as the primary treatment or recommended in addition to other treatments that are needed. Only a treating neurosurgeon who operates radiosurgery equipment can make the evaluation as to whether someone can be treated by this technique. A neurosurgeon must always be present during treatment and should work with a radiation oncologist when the brain is being targeted.
Some of the most common indications for treatment are : -
