General Symptoms / Conditions
Dr. Hrishikesh Sarkar is widely recognized for treating highly complex neurological and neurosurgical cases with exceptional precision and advanced clinical expertise. With extensive experience in brain, spine, nerve and skull surgeries, he has earned a reputation for delivering successful outcomes even in challenging situations where others consider surgery high-risk. Dr. Sarkar specializes in minimally invasive neurosurgery, skull base disorders, brain tumor removal, epilepsy surgery, deep brain stimulation, pediatric neurosurgery and complex spine procedures. Patients from across India and abroad seek his care for accurate diagnosis, safe surgical techniques and faster recovery. He offers comprehensive treatment for a wide range of neurological conditions, including all the advanced procedures and treatments listed below.
1. Keyhole Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery
A minimally invasive neurosurgical technique that uses a small keyhole opening to access deep-seated brain tumors and complex skull base conditions. This approach minimizes tissue damage, reduces pain, shortens hospital stays, and promotes faster recovery while maintaining exceptional surgical precision.
2. Skull Base Surgery
Highly specialized surgery to treat deep-seated brain tumors, vascular lesions, and cranial nerve disorders located at the base of the skull while preserving critical neurological structures and functions.
3. Complex Brain Tumor Surgery
Advanced microsurgical and minimally invasive techniques for the safe and precise removal of benign and malignant brain tumors, with a focus on preserving neurological function and improving patient outcomes.
4. Brain Bypass Surgery
One of the largest experiences in India within the private healthcare sector for performing complex brain bypass (cerebral revascularization) surgeries to restore blood flow in patients with Moyamoya disease and other cerebrovascular disorders.
5. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
A minimally invasive procedure in which electrodes are implanted in specific areas of the brain to effectively manage movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremors, and dystonia.
6. Neuromodulation Therapy
Advanced neuromodulation techniques, including spinal cord stimulation and peripheral nerve stimulation, to effectively manage chronic neuropathic pain, movement disorders, and other complex neurological conditions when conventional treatments are not sufficient.
7. Advanced Epilepsy Surgery & Medical Management
Comprehensive epilepsy care, including video-EEG evaluation, medication optimization, and advanced minimally invasive epilepsy surgery for patients with drug-resistant seizures.
8. Lumbar Disc Surgery
Microdiscectomy and endoscopic spine surgery to remove herniated disc material, relieve nerve compression, and reduce back and leg pain while promoting faster recovery.
9. Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Treatment
Minimally invasive decompression procedures designed to relieve pressure on spinal nerves, reducing numbness, weakness, and pain in the lower limbs.
10. Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Advanced small-incision spine procedures for slipped discs, spinal stenosis, nerve compression, spinal instability, and spinal trauma, offering less pain, minimal scarring, and quicker recovery.
11. Epidural (Extradural) Hematoma Management
Emergency neurosurgical treatment to remove blood clots between the skull and the dura mater, preventing brain compression and other life-threatening complications.
12. Pituitary Adenoma Surgery
Advanced endoscopic transnasal surgery to safely remove pituitary gland tumors, helping restore hormonal balance, improve vision, and relieve neurological symptoms.
13. Management of Brain Tumors
Comprehensive brain tumor management, including advanced MRI evaluation, microsurgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, postoperative rehabilitation, and long-term follow-up care.
14. Skull Fracture / Cranial Trauma Management
Expert neurosurgical treatment for skull fractures, traumatic brain injuries, intracranial bleeding, and accident-related head injuries using advanced surgical techniques.
15. Keyhole Microvascular Decompression (MVD)
A minimally invasive keyhole procedure to relieve pressure caused by blood vessels compressing cranial nerves, providing long-term relief from trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm while preserving nerve function.
16. Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment
Comprehensive medical and surgical treatment for severe facial nerve pain using microvascular decompression, nerve blocks, radiofrequency procedures, and stereotactic radiosurgery.
17. Epilepsy Treatment for Children & Adults
Advanced epilepsy diagnosis using EEG and neuroimaging, along with personalized medication management and surgical treatment for difficult-to-control seizures.
18. Parkinson's Disease Treatment
Individualized treatment combining medications, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to improve movement, balance, tremors, and overall quality of life.
19. Spasticity Management
Advanced treatment using Botulinum toxin injections, nerve blocks, rehabilitation, and neurosurgical procedures to reduce muscle stiffness caused by stroke, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, and other neurological disorders.
20. Neuropathic Pain Treatment
Specialized treatment using advanced medications, nerve blocks, neuromodulation, and minimally invasive procedures to manage chronic nerve-related pain.
21. Cancer Pain Management
Comprehensive neurological pain management for cancer patients through medications, nerve blocks, neurolytic procedures, and minimally invasive interventions to improve comfort and quality of life.
22. Moyamoya Disease Treatment
Advanced cerebral revascularization (brain bypass) surgery to restore blood flow to the brain, reduce the risk of stroke, and improve long-term neurological outcomes in both children and adults.
23. Headache & Migraine Treatment
Comprehensive management of chronic headaches and migraines through lifestyle modification, preventive medications, advanced neurological evaluation, and nerve block therapy.
24. Lumbago (Lower Back Pain) Treatment
Personalized non-surgical and surgical treatment for chronic lower back pain caused by disc prolapse, spinal degeneration, nerve compression, and other spinal or muscular disorders.
