Understanding Brain Surgery (Neurosurgery)

Brain surgery is used for complex brain surgeries. It's performed by really skilled neurosurgeons to resolve structural or electrical issues. What's your goal? It repairs damage and removes tumors, aneurysms, etc. Restores normal brain function.

Invasive Neurosurgical interventions are processed when the non-invasive treatments like radiation or therapies or other medications are not working to fix the disease. If the disease is diagnosed as early as possible, the problem can be treated with proper medication and expecting faster recovery of the patient. Different treatment methods have different ranges of amounts where the treatment starts from standard craniotomy to endoscopic minimally invasive stereotactic radiosurgery.

When a person requires brain surgery ?

  • Removal of benign or malignant brain tumors.
  • Repair of bleeding brain aneurysms or vascular malformations.
  • Relief of excessive intracranial pressure (e.g., hydrocephalus).
  • Removal of blood clots (hematomas) following traumatic brain injury.
  • Surgical treatment of severe epilepsy unresponsive to medication.
  • Implantation of electrodes for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson's.

Neurological Conditions We Treat

Medivoyage connects you with specialist neuro-departments offering comprehensive care for various complex neurological disorders.

Brain Tumors & Cancer

Comprehensive removal procedures for glioma, meningioma, acoustic neuroma, pituitary tumors, and metastatic brain cancers.

Arterial Enlargement & AVMs

Microvascular clipping and endovascular coiling are treatments for the brain when a patient has bulging blood vessels or cerebral leaks in blood vessels and arteriovenous malformations and helps those diseases to be fixed safely.

Disorders in movement

There are certain disorders in movement of a person when there is any kind of disease in the brain like Modernized Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and operations to treat Parkinson's disease, dystonia, and severe tremors.

Epilepsy & Seizures

Patients with disorders in the brain also face episodes of epilepsy and seizures, vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), and focal surgery for patients with medicines to prevent epilepsy.

Hydrocephalus

This is mainly treated by draining out all the extra fluid from the brain using endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV). These procedures help in easing pressure inside the skull and help in reviving back the normal flow of fluids in the brain.

Nerve & Skull Problems

Nerve and skull issues are treated by reducing the pressure on Microscopic blood vessels, Trigeminal Neuralgia and complex skull base surgeries.

Types of Brain Surgery Available in India

Depending on your diagnosis, medical history, and imaging results, our partner hospitals offer customized surgical approaches.

Craniotomy brain surgery in India

Craniotomy

The tradition is how they perform brain surgery in India. The part of the skull is removed, that way neurosurgeons can take a good look at your brain. After surgery, the bone flap is put back together. It's fixed using titanium plates and screws.

Awake brain surgery in India

Awake Brain Surgery

Performed while patients are conscious but don't feel pain. This allows neurosurgeons to map speech, movement, or visual regions in real time. This is to protect essential functions. Tumors located close to critical brain spots are carefully removed.

Endoscopic and skull base surgery in India

Endoscopic & Skull Base Surgery

A highly advanced, minimally invasive approach enables access to deep-seated skull base or pituitary tumors via the nasal passages or small incisions. High-definition visualization is achieved using an endoscope, eliminating the need for large craniotomy openings.

Deep brain stimulation DBS in India

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

Accurate neurosurgical procedures, Electrodes are implanted into specific brain regions also called β€œBrain Pacemaker”. It supplies electrical impulses, blocks abnormal signals and improves mobility for Parkinson patients.

Advanced Neurosurgical Technologies

Indian hospitals now use advanced techniques and tools during surgery to help the doctors operate the process properly and diminish the complications.

  • MRI (iMRI) during the operation: Can help to see and confirm whether there is a tumor or it has disappeared. The Image is 3D and it helps to navigate the tumor properly.
  • Intraoperative Neuromonitoring: Protects Neural Pathways. It helps prevent damage.

Surgical Safety Rate

Critical factors affect the success of outcomes. An early diagnostic scan can help the surgeon's expertise. It is very important to know where the tumor is exactly located, and continuous and timely rehabilitation is equally important.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, brain surgery is very safe in India and top hospitals use superior technology such as intraoperative ones, neuronavigation and real-time neural mapping. We have equipment similar to what you'd find at Western hospitals's top facilities. The Doctors of India are very highly qualified and skilled.
Treating a brain tumor approximately costs $5,500 to $8,500 in India, that is around 80% cheaper than in the other international countries like the USA, UAE or UK. Treatments like Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) start from $15,000 to $22,000, which indicates that the patients and their families are able to save a huge amount even with the best hospitalities.
Patients should more or less stay 14 to 21 days as per the recommendation by the Doctor or Surgeon. These days consist of the pre operative days, when tests go on and examination of the overall body is conducted, the operative stage when the patient gets the treatment and surgeries, and finally the post operative stage where the patient is into recovery and needs a green signal before going home.
You require a valid passport, a medical invitation letter from the treating hospital in India (which Medivoyage arranges immediately), local doctor recommendations, and financial proof of funds to support your medical visit and treatment.
