Neurosurgery (Brain & Spine)

The Department of Neurosurgery at Unicorpus Health Foundation offers advanced surgical management for disorders affecting the brain, spine, and peripheral nervous system. Led by a team of highly skilled neurosurgeon & peripheral nerve surgeon, we are committed to providing ethical, safe, cost effective and evidence-based care with a focus on functional preservation and long-term recovery.

Our multidisciplinary team works in close coordination with neurologists, critical care specialists, radiologists, and rehabilitation professionals to ensure each patient receives holistic, personalised treatment throughout their surgical journey.

Conditions We Manage

We provide expert care for a wide range of neurological and spinal conditions, combining surgical precision with a multidisciplinary approach, including:

Brain Tumours (including skull base tumours)
Diagnosis and removal of benign or malignant tumours such as gliomas and
meningiomas, with a focus on preserving neurological function and ensuring safe postoperative recovery.

Spinal Cord and Spine Disorders (including complex spine disorders)
Trauma, disc prolapse, tumours, spinal degeneration, scoliosis, are managed
through decompression and stabilisation (instrumentation) to prevent spinal cord and nerve damage.

CSF Disorders (Hydrocephalus, NPH, IIH, Chiari, Syringomyelia)
Managed using shunt placement or endoscopic procedures to relieve intracranial pressure and restore cerebrospinal fluid balance.

Traumatic Brain Injury
Surgical intervention for traumatic injuries, including brain bleeds, skull fractures, and swelling, supported by neurocritical care and monitoring.

Vascular Disorders (Stroke, Aneurysms, AVMs, Moya-Moya)
Vascular disorders are treated with microsurgical clipping or surgical excision to prevent or manage haemorrhage.

Congenital Brain and Spine Disorders
Surgical correction of conditions such as spina bifida, tethered cord, and Chiari malformations, supported by paediatric neurology and rehabilitation.

Functional Neurosurgery (Movement Disorders, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Facial
Pains, Headaches, Spasticity)
A severe facial pain disorder managed through microvascular decompression or targeted lesioning when medical therapy fails.

Seizure Disorders
Surgical management of refractory seizures – epileptic surgery, monitoring, VNS

Paediatric Neurosurgery
Diagnosis and surgical management of brain tumours, hydrocephalus, craniosynostosis, seizures, spinal dysraphism, scoliosis

Peripheral Nerve Disorders
Peripheral nerve tumours, peripheral nerve injuries are managed by multi-disciplinary team
