Trauma or injury to the skull or spinal cord occurs most commonly due to vehicular accidents. Other reasons for injuries remain to fall from height, fall of a heavy object over the body, or any cause we attribute as accidental. The injuries to the brain and spine can be minor, major, or critical which will necessitate urgent intervention. Surgery for such Brain injuries is required only under special circumstances like open fractures, blood clots, or large swelling of the brain lobe.
Brain tumors are now increasingly diagnosed due to the easy accessibility of CT scans and MRI scans. There are different types of tumors found affecting the brain. Broadly they are benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous). All the types of tumors can be effectively dealt with if diagnosed in the early stage. The location, size, and proximity to critical areas in the brain decide the outcomes of an operation. The surgery for Brain tumors has become safe due to improvements in anesthesia, Imaging techniques, Intra-operative neuro-monitoring, and tools like CUSA. Patients do feel very little pain or discomfort & hospital stay is short.
Pituitary Tumors - Surgery for tumors arising from the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland lies at the base of the brain in a small bony impression called as the sella. The pituitary gland is responsible for the overall control of hormones regulating the various bodily functions ( thyroid, adrenals, gonads-ovaries & testes). Tumors arising from the pituitary gland can present with hormonal disturbances, eyesight problems (reduction in the visual field), and other non-specific problems like headaches or giddiness. All these problems can arise slowly or may manifest suddenly due to bleeding inside the pituitary gland( pituitary apoplexy).
Trigeminal neuralgia or 'Tic Doloreaux' also infamously called suicide disease is a disorder affecting the Trigeminal nerve as it exits the brainstem. The disease is many times erroneously attributed to dental pain and many patients undergo multiple dental extractions before they are diagnosed correctly.
Surgery for problems arising in the brain or Spine in children ( below 18 years). Several common problems like hydrocephalus (accumulation of excess fluid in the brain), tumors, spinal problems ( tethered cord- part of the spine remains tethered)
Surgery for problems arising from diseases affecting the blood vessels of the brain. Common problems are bleeding secondary to aneurysmal hemorrhage, infarcts caused by narrowed neck vessels, Moyamoya disease.
Surgery of spinal disorders like degenerative disorders, spinal tumors, spinal trauma, and congenital spinal problems. Common spinal problems lead to pain in the neck, lower back, or pain radiating in the hand or leg. Spinal problems may also result in walking difficulty by causing gait disturbances, leg cramps, and tingling sensations or numbness.
06-Jun-2021 One of the best Neurosurgeon in Pune. My father was not able to walk due to NPH issues but post-surgery by Dr.Kaustubh Dindorkar , he is able to walk as much as he wants and usually he goes for morning walk and walk around 2 to 3 km daily so I think it was only possible due to treatment from sir. Thank you so much sir.
