Endoscopic brain surgery is a procedure used primarily to treat brain tumours. It is considered a minimally invasive brain surgery that allows neurosurgeons to identify and treat conditions that are deep within the brain.

At Narayana Health, our multidisciplinary neurosurgery team is equipped with the latest technology and infrastructure to perform Endoscopic Brain Surgeries.

Discectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the damaged portion of a herniated disk in your spine. A herniated disk can irritate or compress nearby nerves. Discectomy is most effective for treating pain that radiates down your arms or legs. The procedure may be suggested if conservative, nonsurgical treatments haven't worked or if your symptoms worsen.

In a Laminectomy or decompression surgery, a surgeon creates space by removing the lamina — the back part of the vertebra that covers your spinal canal. This helps enlarge your spinal canal to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. This pressure is mainly caused by bony overgrowths within the spinal canal, which can occur in people who have arthritis in their spines. Laminectomy is generally used only when more-conservative treatments have failed to relieve symptoms

A craniotomy is the surgical removal of part of the bone from the skull to expose the brain. By using specialised tools, a section of bone called the bone flap is temporarily removed to access the brain underneath. It may be performed to treat brain tumors, hematomas (blood clots), aneurysms or AVMs, traumatic head injury, foreign objects (bullets), swelling of the brain, or infection.

Spinal fusion is surgery to permanently connect two or more vertebrae in your spine, eliminating motion between them.

It involves techniques designed to mimic the normal healing process of broken bones. A spinal fusion is usually recommended only when your doctor can pinpoint the source of your pain.

A lumbar puncture (spinal tap) is performed in the lower back by inserting a needle between two lumbar bones (vertebrae) to remove a sample of cerebrospinal fluid. A lumbar puncture can help diagnose serious infections, such as meningitis; other disorders of the central nervous system, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome and multiple sclerosis; or cancers of the brain or spinal cord.

Stereotactic neurosurgery is a minimally invasive method to localise and treat targets in the brain. It is used for both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. It uses precise beams of radiation to treat tumors and other abnormal growths. Computer-generated images of the brain guide neurosurgeons and oncologists so that they can precisely target doses of radiation at the tumor with minimal contact or expose to surrounding healthy tissue.

A flow divertor is a specialized medical device designed to treat brain aneurysms by rerouting blood flow from the weakened vessel. This helps reduce pressure on the aneurysm, allowing it to heal over time. By promoting natural blood flow through healthier pathways, the flow divertor minimizes the risk of rupture and supports long-term vascular stability.

Coiling of an aneurysm is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat brain aneurysms. During the procedure, small platinum coils are inserted into the aneurysm through a catheter, which is typically guided through the arteries via the groin. The coils fill the aneurysm, promoting blood clotting and preventing the aneurysm from rupturing.

Carotid stenting is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat narrowed or blocked carotid arteries, which can increase the risk of stroke. During the procedure, a stent (a small mesh tube) is inserted into the affected artery to keep it open and restore proper blood flow to the brain. The stent is typically placed through a catheter that is guided from a small incision, often in the groin.

Intracranial stenting is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat narrowed or blocked arteries within the brain, which can lead to stroke or other neurological issues. During the procedure, a stent (a small metal mesh tube) is inserted into the affected intracranial artery via a catheter, which is typically guided through the femoral artery in the groin.

Dural fistula embolization is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat abnormal connections (fistulas) between arteries and veins in the dural membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord. These fistulas can lead to various neurological symptoms, including headaches, seizures, or vision problems.
