Pediatric Neurosurgery is a discipline of medicine and the specialty of neurosurgery which deals with the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of disorders of the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems of children. Pediatric neurological surgery includes the evaluation and diagnosis , operative and non-operative treatment , critical care and rehabilitation of children with disorders of the nervous system.Our Broad aim by conducting this session is to encourage the study, Improve the practice and elevate the standards of Pediatric Neurosurgery and therapy to advance the cause of Public Health which would be done by the Pediatric neurosurgeons to treat the Children from Newborn through the teenage years.Pediatric neurosurgeons have a special and longstanding relationship with their patients.
Neurosurgical oncology is the treatment of patients with both benign and malignant tumors of the brain, skull, skull base, spine, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Some of those conditions include Acoustic Neuroma Glioma, Meningioma, Metastatic brain tumor, Neurofibromatosis, Pituitary tumors/skull base tumors, Spine tumors amny of which are eventually dangerous and life threatening.Under these cases treatment is been considered as the only hope to the cancer affected individuals which would either cure their problem or extend the time limit possibly two or more.Such type of treatments include Adjuvant Chemotherapy,Cryotherapy, Craniotomy, Laser therapy.These therpaies may eventually ray the hope of light to the affected people.
Neuro Radiological Surgery(also known as Neurointerventional Surgery or Endovascular Neurosurgery) is a sub-specialty that performs minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat diseases of the brain, head, neck, and spine. Neuroradiological surgery procedures use state-of-the-art devices and image-guided techniques like Neuroimaging, Myelography, Liquid Radiation, Angiography,etc,to deliver treatments through a small puncture in the skin of the groin or arm instead of open surgery.These procedures lifts tha standard of Neurological surgery for the upcoming world.
The Spine is a complex structure, balancing flexibility and strength. Even the smallest change in the structure of the spine can lead to significant disability and pain creating lot of problems. Spinal Neurosurgery is the surgical specialization that treats diseases and disorders of the spinal cord. Back pain can sometimes produce neurological symptoms such as numbness, muscle weakness, and loss of bowel and bladder control due to dysfunction at the nerve root.These symptoms are indicators that Spinal neurosurgery is required to treat the underlying cause of back pain as opposed to conservative treatments.Some of these treatments include Spinal Decompression, Spinal Neurofibroma, Disc Arthoblasty, Microdisectomy. These advanced techniques in the Neurosurgical field can help us to cure even the complex sort of disorders.
Neurodegeneration, the progressive death of brain cells,and the progressive loss of structure or the function of neurons, including the Death of neurons., is the root cause of dementia. Several neurodegenerative diseases cause dementia , with the most common being Alzheimer`s disease (AD) followed by Parkinson’s-Lewy body disease (PD-LBD). Importantly, neurodegenerative brain changes are also frequently associated with vascular disease of the brain (vascular cognitive impairment [VCI]), making mixed disease common in the aging population.These diseases are been considered as incurable. But in this recent Era nothing is been considered as an incurable or an impossible one by research .So as the research approaches many similarities that relate these diesease to one another at a cellular level, and these similarities offers hope for therapeutic advances for the treatment of these diseases.
The Central Nervous System consists of the brain and spinal cord. It is referred to as "central" because it combines information from the entire body and coordinates activity across the whole organism.The brain is the most complex organ in the body and uses 20 percent of the total oxygen we breathe in.The brain consists of an estimated 100 billion neurons, with each connected to thousands more.Infections, such as meningitis, encephalitis, polio, and epidural abscess. Structural disorders , such as brain or spinal cord injury, Bell's palsy, cervical spondylosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, brain or spinal cord tumors, peripheral neuropathy, and Guillain-Barré syndrome are been considered as some of the central nervous system disorders.
Neuroplasticity is being denoted as the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. Neuroplasticity allows the neurons (nerve cells) in the brain to compensate for injury and disease and to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their environment.Brain reorganization takes place by mechanisms such as "axonal sprouting" in which undamaged axons grow new nerve endings to reconnect neurons whose links were injured or severed. Undamaged axons can also sprout nerve endings and connect with other undamaged nerve cells, forming new neural pathways to accomplish a needed function.In other words it could be describes as the technique which hepls in the Short-term,Long-term remodeling of the neurosynptic organization, with the aim of optimizing the functioning of neural networks.
Endovascular surgery is an innovative technique with less invasive procedure used to treat problems affecting the blood vessels , such as an aneurysm, which is a swelling or ballooning, of the blood vessel. Endovascular surgery offers many advantages, including a shorter recovery period, less discomfort, local or regional anesthesia instead of general anesthesia, smaller incisions, less stress on the heart and fewer risks for patients with other medical conditions. This procedure may benefit patients who need surgery but are at a high-risk of complications because of other conditions.
Neurophysiotherapy is a specialism of general physiotherapy. Neurophysiotherapists specialise in the assessment and treatment of individuals who have neurological conditions. This means a problem associated with the Central Nervous System, namely the brain and Spinal cord. Due to the complexities of the central nervous system, people with neurological problems can have a variety of problems. These may be muscle stiffness or spasm (commonly called spasticity), weakness of muscle, tremor, problems with sensation etc. These symptoms can lead to problems with everyday activities such as walking, getting dressed and feeding.
Neuro-Immuno Deficiency Syndrome, (also known as NIDS), is a rare, incurable and potentially fatal disease. NIDS, is an intended medical classification for illnesses or disorders (that may currently have psychiatric or developmental labels) that are actually caused by a complex neuro-immune, complex viral, autoimmune-like illness affecting cognitive and body functions in children and adults. Some of these diseases are labeled as; Autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), ADD or ADHD, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/CFIDS), as well as other multiple related disorders. Many classic autoimmune diseases may have a treatable NIDS component.The symptoms of NIDS vary and can affect multiple areas of a child's development and overall health and well being.
Key hole Brain surgery is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure performed to remove Brain tumors. This procedure allows for the removal of skull based tumour through a small incision behind the ear, providing access to the cerebellum and brainstem. Neurosurgeons may use this approach to reach certain tumors, such as meningiommas and acoustic neuromas (vestibular schwannomas).These approaches for the treatment of skull based tumour are technically demanding that remains a role foe conventional large craniotomies.
Craniotomy is the surgical removal of part of the bone from the skull to expose the brain. This process requires specialized tools that are being used to remove the section of bone called the bone flap. The bone flap is temporarily removed, then replaced after the brain surgery has been done.Some craniotomy procedures may use the guidance of computers and imaging (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] or Computerized tomography [CT] scans) .There are several different types of Craniotomy which includes Orbitozygomatic Craniotomy,Supra-orbital Craniotomy, Translabyrinthine Craniotomy,Extended bifrontal Craniotomy.
Neuroendoscopy uses small telescopes and high resolution video cameras to look into the skull, brain and spine. Working with these endoscopes, it is now possible to perform many microsurgical operations.This minimally invasive neurosurgery has the distinct advantages of a small incision site and minimal trauma to the brain or spinal cord, resulting in a shorter hospital stay for patients and a quicker return to normal activities.In some instances, the surgery is substantially shorter than traditional surgical approaches, and in many cases hospitalization and recovery is shortened.In selected cases, laser energy is used for tumor or cyst surgery.The neuroendoscopy team in every organizations is developing new endoscopes and other surgical instruments.This conference briefly lists out the various endoscopic techniques in brief.
Neuropharmacology is the study of the effects of drugs on the nervous system, with the goal of developing compounds that offer therapeutic benefit in humans with psychiatric and neurological disease. We believe that an understanding of a drug’s action requires an integrated knowledge of the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which the drug exerts its effects upon brain circuitry and ultimately human behaviour.Neuro pharmacology is a very vast field in the area Neurology were treatment is being provided for the neurological disorder patient by the use of Neuro-transmitters and Chemicals.
Neuro-Traumatic Injury is a form of acquired brain injury, occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. Neuro-Traumatic Injury can result when the head suddenly and violently hits an object, or when an object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue. Symptoms of a this can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the damage to the brain. These sudden trauma cases might also lead to death of a patient and thus handling care and monitoring the patient is being considred as an major issue according to Neuro-traumatic injuries.
Neuro-ophthalmology , a subspecialty of both neurology and ophthalmology, is the treatment of visual problems that are related to the nervous system; that is, visual problems that do not come from the eyes themselves there are being caused by disorders of the optic nerve, central nervous system (brain and spine), eyeball movement and pupil abnormalities.
Robotic or Robot-Assisted Surgery integrates advanced computer technology with the experience of the skilled surgeons. This technology provides the surgeon with a 10x magnified, high-definition, 3D-image of the body's intricate anatomy.The surgeon uses controls in the console to manipulate special surgical instruments that are smaller, as well as more flexible and manoeuvrable than the human hand. The robot replicates the surgeon's hand movements, while minimizing hand tremors. The surgeon thus can operate with enhanced precision, dexterity and control even during the most complex procedures. Robotic surgery is the recent new advanced techique in the field of Neurosurgery.
Neurosurgery is a specialized area of neurology, which is the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries affecting the brain, spinal cord an nervous system. Many earn high incomes for their expertise, but such benefits are accompanied by a number of day-to-day challenges.The daily life of Neurosurgeons is extremly complex and demanding, with rapidly changing tasks and responsibilities, assesing and diagnosing the patients.Without these eminent people the field of Neurology and the treatment for the disorders wouldn't be as bright as now.
