Cranial traumas refer to injuries to the skull or brain, often caused by accidents, falls, or blunt force trauma. Treatment typically involves various surgical interventions, depending on the severity of the trauma, which may include surgical decompression, repair of skull fractures, and removal of hematoma or blood clots from the brain.
CSF diversion procedures are surgical techniques used to manage conditions where there is a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, such as hydrocephalus. These procedures involve creating a pathway for excess CSF to drain and be absorbed elsewhere in the body, often through the insertion of a shunt or the creation of a ventriculostomy.
Decompressive craniotomy is a surgical procedure performed to relieve pressure on the brain following traumatic brain injury, stroke, or conditions like intracranial hypertension. It involves removing a portion of the skull to allow the brain to swell without being compressed, thereby reducing the risk of further damage.
Endoscopic surgery in neurosurgery involves using a small, flexible tube with a camera and surgical instruments to perform minimally invasive procedures within the brain or spinal cord. It is commonly used for conditions such as hydrocephalus, pituitary tumors, and certain types of spinal disorders.
Spinal degenerative surgeries are procedures aimed at addressing conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and herniated discs in the spine. These surgeries aim to relieve pressure on spinal nerves, stabilize the spine, and alleviate symptoms such as back pain and radiating leg pain.
The treatment of cranial tumors depends on various factors, including the type, size, location, and aggressiveness of the tumor, as well as the patient's overall health. Treatment options may include surgical resection, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these modalities, with the goal of removing or controlling the tumor while preserving neurological function.
Vascular and endovascular neurosurgery focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of vascular disorders affecting the brain and spinal cord, such as aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and stroke. These procedures may involve open surgical techniques or minimally invasive endovascular approaches using catheters and imaging guidance to treat vascular abnormalities.
