Key procedures

1. We provide a full spectrum of neurosurgery that includes tumour surgery, vascular surgery, spine surgery, movement epilepsy, movement disorder procedures, trauma and spinal tumour surgery.

2. Among tumour surgery, skull-based tumours surgery is the most commonly performed. Moreover, we have exhaustive experience in dealing with pituitary tumours, acoustic tumours and skull-based meningioma, For example, in pituitary tumours, we carry out both endoscopic and micro-surgical procedures which is unique at Sakra Institute of Neurosciences.

3. In acoustic tumours the key is facial preservation and brain-stem preservation, both are done extremely well at our department and have achieved excellent results.

4. We have vast experience of neuro-vascular procedures involving cerebrovascular aneurysm, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and tumour embolization.

5. Another specialty at the department of neurosurgery is that we are highly experienced in performing complex procedures such as

6. Intra-medullary tumours which are the tumours that grow inside the spinal cord, most frequently occurring in the cervical region. We have unique experience in dealing with this complex procedure with 85-90% success rate.

7. Among cranio-vertebral junctions, Sakra ranks the highest series in the state. We carry out meningioma neurofibroma, among others with 90-95% of success rate with significant recovery pattern where patients hardly go to ventilators.
