Neurosurgery in Nizamabad: Brain and Spine Care

When Is Neurosurgical Assessment Needed?

Neurosurgeons treat conditions affecting the brain, spine and nerves, including head injury, brain tumours, slipped discs, spinal stenosis and spinal fractures. Many headaches, seizures and nerve symptoms are first assessed by Neurology, while structural problems may require a neurosurgical opinion.

What to Look for in a Brain and Spine Hospital

• A qualified neurosurgeon with specialist brain and spine training.
• 24x7 emergency, CT and ICU support for time-sensitive conditions.
• Coordination between Neurology and Neurosurgery.
• Advanced microscopes or endoscopic techniques where suitable.
• Physiotherapy and rehabilitation support after treatment.

Neurosurgery at Prudence Hospitals

Dr. Aditya Grandhi, DNB (Neurosurgery), Reg. No. 97241, provides specialist care. Listed in-house procedures include head-injury surgery, brain-tumour surgery, surgery for slipped disc, spinal stenosis and spinal fractures, and minimally invasive or endoscopic spine surgery.

The hospital lists an intra-operative neuro-microscope, in-house CT, a Neuro ICU, physiotherapy and Orthopaedic support. MRI arrangements should be confirmed directly with the hospital.

After a head injury, loss of consciousness, worsening drowsiness, repeated vomiting, seizures, weakness, unequal pupils or blood or clear fluid from the nose or ears requires emergency evaluation. Sudden weakness or loss of bladder or bowel control with back pain is also an emergency.

Does a Slipped Disc Always Need Surgery?

No. Many people improve with pain relief, physiotherapy and activity changes. Surgery may be considered when pain persists despite treatment, weakness or numbness progresses, or urgent nerve compression signs develop. The choice between conventional and minimally invasive approaches depends on scans and clinical assessment.

Loss of consciousness, confusion, repeated vomiting, worsening headache, seizure, weakness, unequal pupils or fluid from the nose or ears need emergency care.
