Information to Patients

This department is one of the pioneers of Neurosurgery in India. An entire generation of neurosurgeons have trained & worked in this center from across the country

This center has pioneered in Endoscopic Neurosurgery in the country where a small hole is made in brain and a telescope is passed inside to treat the tumor. This does not require big cuts over the head. It can be done in less time and early recovery is possible

Department has facilities for Stereo tactic Neurosurgery where tumors deeply located in brain can be accessed without damaging the normal surrounding brain

Spinal & Cranial Micro Neurosurgery is being done regularly. Transoral surgery for the treatment of CV junction anomalies is being done. There are plans to start functional Neurosurgery in near future, once the equipments are acquired

There are two outpatient clinics per week (Monday & Thursday) No. 17. The department has two OPDs per week for follow up patients (Tuesday and Wednesday)

The elective operation list is on all the six days of the week and emergency Neurosurgical services are available round the clock through out the week

Year 2008 was the Golden Jubilee Year of the department of Neurosurgery. This department has been able to offer a quality Neurosurgical services to a large section of society at a very less cost, though not compromising on the quality of care and level of expertise. The department further pledge to continue to extend its services for many years to come.
