A stroke is a life-threatening medical emergency and patients should be rushed to a hospital immediately. Kamineni Hospitals provides 24-hour emergency care where teams of ER physicians, neurologists and neurosurgeons have successfully treated more than 25,000 cases of stroke.
Suspected stroke patients undergo physical examination, diagnostic tests and radiological investigations. Based on the investigations, neurologists and/or neurosurgeons decide the best course of treatment. This may include medical management and/or surgical interventions as required. Following successful medical interventions, patients undergo rehabilitative therapies.
To ensure comprehensive improvement in the quality of life for stroke patients, we also provide a wide range of rehabilitation services
- Physical Therapy: Fully equipped physiotherapy labs and skilled physiotherapists who have helped thousands of patients
- Speech Therapy: Highly proficient speech therapists provide a comprehensive range of rehabilitative speech therapies
Depending on patient complaints, physicians may advise some diagnostic and/or radiological investigations. Unless otherwise indicated, headaches, including migraine, can be medically managed. Neurologists at Kamineni Hospitals have successfully treated innumerable patients suffering from migraine with medication and relaxation therapies.
Patients suspected with epilepsy are physically examined by neurologists following which, EEGs and radiological tests may be advised. Depending on the type of seizure and investigation reports, neurologists suggest anti-epileptic medication. For exceptional cases, surgery may be required. If the patient is compliant and follows the medication advice seriously, then a typical case of epilepsy can be very easily managed without major incidents.
Endoscopic Neurosurgery
Endoscopic neurosurgery is a minimally invasive procedure and does not involve large incisions or extensive dissection through brain tissue. Endoscopic brain surgery or intracranial surgery is performed for endoscopic tumor biopsy, colloid cyst resection, endoscopic cyst fenestration and treatment hydrocephalus. Patients are typically discharged within a short period of time from the hospital.Apart from intracranial endoscopy, endonasal and spinal neurosurgery are also frequently performed. Conditions treated include pituitary tumors, chordomas, lumbar and thoracic hernias, chronic back pain and compression fractures, among others.
Neuro-Vascular Surgery
Frequently treated conditions include cerebral aneurysms, carotid and intracranial atherosclerosis and stroke, among others. Cerebral hemorrhages caused due to aneurysms and stroke require immediate neuro-vascular surgery. Treatment may include draining blood from the brain, aneurysm repair, endovascular embolization (inserting metal coils/meshes to block an aneurysm), open neurosurgery, or craniotomy. In many cases, patients may be able to have a minimally invasive endovascular treatment.Trauma and Emergencies
The highly advanced 24-hour emergency treatment centre at Kamineni Hospitals treats a wide range of emergency health conditions including road accidents. The ER treats cases of road accidents, head injuries and accidental falls, successfully, in coordination with multiple disciplines, among which neurosurgery plays a central part.Most often neurosurgeons at Kamineni Hospitals, deal with head injuries with raised intracranial pressure and restricted cerebral blood flow. Decompressive craniectomy, removing a part of the skull to relieve cranial pressure, is routinely performed.
To provide end-to-end care for patients undergoing neurosurgeries, Kamineni Hospitals has a dedicated intensive care unit equipped with an ICP monitoring system. Post-surgery patients are monitored closely by neurosurgeons and skilled multi-disciplinary teams.
Paediatric Neurosurgery
Sometimes children may be born with anomalies of the brain, spinal cord, skull deformities and spinal deformities. In such cases, paediatric neurosurgery becomes the recommended line of treatment to alleviate painful conditions and/or improve quality of life. Some of the frequently performed paediatric neurosurgeries at Kamineni Hospitals include endoscopic third ventriculostomy to drain excess CSF and correction of craniosynostosis (early, abnormal closure of skull bones) by minimally invasive surgery enabling the baby’s brain to grow normally.BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
