The Neurosurgical team at MIOT has the expertise to treat the entire gamut of neurological disorders that require surgery. The Department performs more than 350 major neurological procedures every year, with a success rate of 98.5%.
A centre for advanced neurosurgery
MIOT International’s neurosurgery department is equipped with the latest medical innovations. We offer surgical treatment for cancer, stroke, trauma, infection and correction of congenital defects. It is one of only a few centres in India that offers advanced neurosurgical procedures in conditions such as Parkinsonism and cerebral palsy, which affect the everyday life of patients. MIOT also boasts of the services of dedicated neuro anesthetics for all the surgeries.
The Department offers 24 x 7 neurosurgical trauma care as well.
Sophisticated surgical equipment
The state-of-the-art dedicated neurosurgery operation theatre is equipped with the following:
- Neurosurgical Möller-Wedel operating microscope, which magnifies vital structures within the brain and spinal cord, as well as makes recordings and takes photographs during the surgery.
- Aesculap ELAN 4- The First One In India – high-speed micro-drill system to cut bones
- Aesculap motorised craniotome
- Karl Storz neuro-endoscope
- Micro-neurosurgical instruments for procedures on both the brain and the spine
- Dräger ventilators, monitors and anaesthetic equipment
- SONOPET ULTRASONIC ASPIRATOR to excise difficult tumors
- SONOPET BONE scalpel that cuts deep bone without damaging neighboring neural tissue
In-house facilities for advanced imaging such as sophisticated CT and MRI systems, and brain angiogram are available round the clock. The Neurosciences unit is supported by a dedicated critical care sub-unit which is equipped with Dräger ventilators, manned by experienced anaethesists and paramedical staff.
