THE BRIGHT FUTURE OF NEUROSURGERY IN INDIA

New technology and techniques are revolutionizing neurosurgery in India. A good example of this was witnessed last month in October 2016 when Dr. Mukesh Pandey of Asian Institute of Medical Sciences in Faridabad operated a 22-year-old man from the Middle East who had 17 worm eggs, 3-4 cms in diameter in his brain. These eggs had quite a delicate outer membrane and it was important to take them out without rupturing them. According to Dr Pandey, no equipment could be used to separate the eggs from the brain tissue, so he had to use water to detach them. He succeeded in taking out all the eggs and the patient who was in a coma pre-surgery started walking again in few weeks’ time.
It is to be noted that dedicated Neuro-Vascular cath labs are helping neurosurgeons in performing complex surgeries. There were just two labs some five years ago; now there are ten.
