Neuroscience

Welcome to the Neurosurgery department at Siu-Ka-Pha Multispeciality Hospital, where we are dedicated to providing exceptional care and treatment for patients with neurosurgical disorders and conditions. Our team of highly skilled and experienced neurosurgeons, supported by advanced technology and state-of-the-art facilities, is committed to delivering the highest standard of surgical care.

Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary field that studies the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. It encompasses various disciplines such as neurology, neurosurgery, neurobiology, and neuroimaging. Neurosurgery specifically involves surgical interventions to treat neurological conditions and disorders. At Siu-Ka-Pha Multispeciality Hospital, our neurosurgical department specialises in providing comprehensive and personalised care to needy patients.

Surgeries Offered at Siu-Ka-Pha Multispeciality Hospital

1. Brain Tumor Surgery: Our neurosurgical team specialises in treating brain tumours, including benign and malignant ones. With a focus on precision and optimal outcomes, we employ advanced techniques such as minimally invasive surgery and image-guided surgery. Our surgeons work closely with neuro-oncologists, radiation oncologists, and other specialists to develop a personalised treatment plan for each patient.
2. Spine Surgery: Siu-Ka-Pha Multispeciality Hospital offers a wide range of spine surgeries, including decompression surgeries, spinal fusion, disc replacement, and spine tumour surgeries. Our neurosurgeons are skilled in addressing various spine conditions, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spinal deformities, and spinal cord injuries. We use the latest technologies and surgical approaches, including minimally invasive spine surgery, to minimise postoperative discomfort and expedite recovery.
3. Vascular Neurosurgery: Our neurosurgeons have expertise in treating vascular disorders of the brain and spinal cord, including STA-MCA bypass surgery for Moya-Moya disease, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and carotid stenosis. We offer open and endovascular procedures, ensuring comprehensive treatment options tailored to each patient’s needs. Collaborating closely with neuro-interventional radiologists, our team delivers advanced treatments with minimal invasiveness.
4. Neurotrauma Surgery: Siu-Ka-Pha Multispeciality Hospital is dedicated to providing round-the-clock emergency care for patients with traumatic brain and spinal injuries. Our neurosurgeons are trained to handle complex cases of head trauma, spinal fractures, and other neurosurgical emergencies. We prioritise rapid evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and timely surgical interventions to optimise patient outcomes.

Peripheral Nerve Surgeries: Besides the above specialities, our neurosurgical department offers peripheral nerve surgeries, including brachial plexus repair, carpal tunnel release, and peripheral nerve biopsy. Our experienced surgeons are skilled in addressing peripheral nerve disorders and injuries, aiming to restore function and alleviate symptoms.

Brachial Plexus Repair: Restoring function and movement in individuals with brachial plexus injuries through surgical repair of damaged nerves or nerve grafting/transfers.

Carpal Tunnel Release: Relieves pressure on the median nerve in the wrist to alleviate symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, such as pain, numbness, and weakness, through a small incision and cutting the transverse carpal ligament.

Peripheral Nerve Biopsy: Obtaining a small sample of peripheral nerve tissue for diagnostic purposes, helping identify nerve damage or disorders by examining the nerve structure and identifying abnormalities.

Newer advancements in Neurosurgery:

• Neuronavigation: Using computer integration to enhance precision and accuracy, real-time imaging and guidance during surgery.
• Neuro-Endoscopy: A minimally invasive technique with a tiny camera and light source, allowing visualisation and access to hard-to-reach areas with minimal disruption.
• Intra-operative Ultrasound: Real-time ultrasound imaging during surgery provides detailed information for precise tumour resections and minimises damage to healthy tissues.
• Neuromonitoring: Continuous monitoring of nervous system function during surgery using EEG, EMG, and SSEPs, ensuring patient safety and preventing complications.
• Minimally Invasive Approaches: Using smaller incisions and specialised instruments to minimise trauma, reduce pain, and speed up recovery in brain and spine surgeries.
