Department of Keyhole brain and spine surgery

The Department of Key hole Brain and Spine Surgery at Anu Institute of Neuro and Cardiac Sciences we perform complex medical procedures and provide treatment, consultation and inpatient services for the complete spectrum of neuro and spine care.

Our best neurosurgeons have expertise in doing all neurosurgery procedures such as stereotactic radiosurgery, epilepsy surgery, trigeminal neuralgia, deep brain stimulation. Our panel of neurologists and neurosurgeons are experts in non-invasive surgeries, minimal invasive surgeries like Key hole Brain and Spine Surgery, paediatric neurology, emergency neurological care, neuro-oncology, and neurological imaging.

Keyhole brain and spine surgery procedure is also known as retro-sigmoid craniotomy is actually a minimally-invasive surgical procedure performed to remove brain tumours of the patients. The procedure permits to remove skull base tumours through a small incision behind the ear, which provides access to the cerebellum and brainstem. A minimally invasive approach makes sure that you can restore health easily and there is less pain inflicted, thus the recovery time is also less.

During the keyhole surgery, there is a small incision made in the scalp behind the ear sometimes. Through this opening, the surgeon inserts small instruments to address the complication faced by the patients. Using the real-time video imaging he can obtain a detailed view of the treatment area. This helps them to see what’s happening in the area where the problem lies so that it can be fixed by the surgeon. Before going for keyhole brain surgery, the surgeon will use CT scan or MRIs imaging’s to thoroughly plan the procedure of the surgery.
