Neurointerventional Surgery

What is Oncology?

Oncology is a medical speciality focused on diagnosing and treating cancer using methods like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and targeted therapies. Oncologists manage all stages of cancer care, guiding patients through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. They recommend personalized treatment plans, explain options and potential side effects, oversee treatment, and provide post-treatment care to monitor recovery and prevent recurrence.

What is Haematology?

Haematology is the branch of medicine focused on the study of blood, blood-forming organs, and related disorders. Hematologists specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases affecting the blood and its components, such as blood cells and bone marrow. Common conditions include anemia, hemophilia, infections, blood clotting disorders, and blood cancers like leukemia. Haematology tests are essential for diagnosing these conditions and managing blood disorders effectively.

What is Hepatology?

Hepatology is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing diseases affecting the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and biliary tract. It is a subspecialty of gastroenterology targeting liver-related conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, and complications from alcohol abuse. Hepatologists also manage gallbladder and pancreas disorders critical to digestion and metabolism.

Neurointerventional Surgery

Neurointerventional surgery is a specialized field that combines expertise from neuroradiology, neurology, and neurological surgery. Surgeons in this field are trained to perform complex procedures through tiny incisions in the skin using advanced imaging technology. This minimally invasive approach involves guiding small catheters, needles, or tubes to treat conditions in the brain, head, neck, or spine.

What do Neurointerventional Surgeons Treat?

They treat a range of conditions affecting the brain and spine through minimally invasive techniques. They address neurovascular disorders like cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations, manage spinal issues such as herniated discs and spinal stenosis, and perform procedures to alleviate back pain by targeting specific pain sources with precise injections or catheter-based interventions.

Procedures

The procedures typically use fluoroscopy to navigate and treat issues in the cranio-cervical and spinal areas, and can involve accessing blood vessels through the femoral or radial arteries. These techniques include diagnostic angiography and various therapeutic interventions, leveraging innovations in both devices and methods to enhance precision and effectiveness.

Surgery Procedures include:

•    Venous Sinus Stenosis Stenting

•    Cerebral Aneurysm Embolization

•    Diagnostic Cerebral Angiography

•    Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) Embolization

•    Spinal Vascular Malformation Embolization

•    Pediatric Neuroangiography/Embolization Procedures

•    Balloon Test Occlusion

•    Inferior Petrosal Sinus Sampling

•    Wada Test

•    Chronic Subdural Hematoma Embolization

•    Sclerotherapy

•    Epistaxis Embolization
