The Centre for Neurosciences and Spine Surgery makes the hospital one of the best hospitals for Neuro Spine treatment, where a wide range of services and facilities are offered for patients. Manipal Hospital provides the most comprehensive neurological and spinal care with best available ad advanced technology to treat patients suffering from brain disorders, spinal disorders and nervous system. The team of dedicated neurosurgeons, spine surgeons, neurologist, neuro anesthetist and spinal critical specialists at Manipal Hospital offers a complete range of care such as neuro diagnostic, spinal disorders, interventional and minimally invasive procedures and inpatient and outpatient.
The team of experts follows a multi-disciplinary approach to treat the full spectrum of neurological- spinal disease, from brain and spine tumors, epilepsy, stroke to Parkinson’s disease, herniated disc, spondylolisthesis and other movement disorders. The centre of Neuroscience represents a unique approach in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with neuro and spinal disorders. The hospital has operation theatres which is well equipped with modern equipments like-
The team of experts at the Manipal Hospital uses various diagnostic and therapeutic facilities to offer safe outcome for operations which include Electroencephalogram (EEG), Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP), Electromyography (EMG), Computed Tomography (CT) Scan, Neuropsychological Evaluation, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Diagnostic Cerebral Angiogram (DSA).
The centre has a dedicated Neuro Intensive Care Unit which is manned by a committed various specialists and highly trained staff who support round the clock. There are several units, which are streamlined into various sub disciplines of spine and neuro department, include-
The standard battery of tests will include MRIs, CT scans, Ultrasound, blood draws, angiograms and echocardiograms. These tests will shed light on the severity of the stroke as well as the likelihood of another stroke (clotting factor).
Continuous monitoring and regular checkups can help neurologists detect clots and clotting sources before they can cause additional strokes
After the investigations it is decided by the surgeons if the patient requires a day care or has to kept in the Hospital for a while.
The patients suffering from brain and spine problems are surgically treated and diagnosed by the neurosurgeons at Manipal Hospital. The Department of neurosciences consist of expertise surgeons in neurosurgery, brain tumor, complex spine disorders, stereotactic radiosurgery and vascular diseases etc.
To operate Cysts, Cancerous and non cancerous tumors and any other abnormalities in skull base vertebrae and underside of the brain, this type of procedure is performed primarily.Typically, skull base & spine surgery is performed using minimally invasive methods, using an endoscope through the mouth, nose or by creating a small incision above the eye. These procedures require a multi-disciplinary approach that involves neurosurgeons, maxillofacial surgeons and radiologists. In some cases, it may be necessary to create an opening in the skull to facilitate surgical maneuvers.
To correct congenital disorder, this is a procedure performed which is known as AVM, wherein internal bleeding and neurological symptoms are treated also if there is a formation of tangled arteries and veins which can lead to seizures is cured. AVM's can form in the spinal cord, brain, and brainstem, and are revealed using special neuroradiological scans.
The centre of Spine Surgery is known for providing comprehensive care to each patient using a multidisciplinary approach, state-of-the-art infrastructure, leading-edge technology and managing all kinds of spinal surgeries such as:-
