Brain Treatments
Brain treatments involve a variety of surgical and medical interventions to address brain-related conditions, such as tumors, injuries, and neurological disorders. Common procedures include brain surgery, tumor removal, and stroke management, aiming to restore normal brain function, reduce symptoms, and improve patients' quality of life.
Brain Surgery
A surgical procedure to treat various brain conditions, such as tumors, abnormal blood vessels, or injuries. It involves opening the skull (craniotomy) to access and repair the affected area.
Tumor Resection
A surgical procedure aimed at removing brain tumors. Surgeons remove as much of the tumor as possible while minimizing damage to surrounding brain tissue.
Hydrocephalus Shunting
A procedure that involves implanting a shunt to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain's ventricles, relieving pressure caused by hydrocephalus (fluid buildup).
Stroke Management
A combination of medical and surgical treatments to prevent and manage strokes. This may involve clot removal, blood flow restoration, or managing brain swelling after a stroke.
Chiari Decompression Surgery
A surgical treatment for Chiari malformation, where the lower part of the brain extends into the spinal canal. The surgery alleviates pressure and restores normal cerebrospinal fluid flow.
Head Injury Management
Comprehensive care for head injuries, including trauma, concussions, or fractures. It may involve surgery, medications, and rehabilitation to prevent complications like brain swelling or bleeding.
