Neurosurgical and Neurointerventional Procedures

Thrombectomy for Stroke

Emergency catheter-based removal of a clot from a blocked brain artery in selected patients with acute ischaemic stroke.

Endovascular Coiling

Catheter-based placement of coils within a brain aneurysm, aiming to reduce blood flow into the aneurysm and the risk of bleeding.

Carotid Artery Stenting

Placement of a mesh stent in a narrowed carotid artery in selected patients, with the aim of reducing future stroke risk.

Surgical Clipping

Microsurgical placement of a clip across the neck of a brain aneurysm to close it off from the circulation.

Endovascular Treatment for AVMs

Catheter-based embolisation of selected blood vessels in an arteriovenous malformation, sometimes combined with surgery or radiosurgery.

Minimally Invasive Brain Tumour Removal

Surgery through a smaller skull opening for selected brain tumours. The approach depends on the tumour location and clinical assessment.

Tumour Embolisation

Catheter-based blocking of selected blood vessels supplying a tumour before surgery, with the aim of reducing surgical bleeding.

Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery

Endoscopic surgery through the nose and sphenoid sinus to access a pituitary tumour. Suitability depends on the tumour and clinical assessment.

Craniotomy Surgery

Temporary skull opening to access and treat brain tumours, haemorrhage, infections, or traumatic injuries.

Microvascular Decompression (MVD)

Surgery to separate a compressing blood vessel from the trigeminal nerve in selected patients with trigeminal neuralgia.

Cervical Disc Replacement

Replacement of a damaged cervical disc with an artificial implant, aiming to preserve movement at the treated level.

Spinal Fusion Surgery

Surgery to join two or more vertebrae, aiming to stabilise the affected part of the spine.

Spinal Fixation Surgery

Stabilisation with rods, screws, and plates following spinal fractures, trauma, or severe instability.

VP Shunt Surgery

Drainage tube implantation from brain ventricles to abdomen — relieving dangerous CSF pressure in hydrocephalus.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

Implanted electrodes deliver electrical stimulation to selected brain areas to help manage symptoms in some people with Parkinson's disease.

Interventional Neuroradiology

Image-guided catheter techniques for diagnosing and treating vascular brain and spine diseases with minimal invasiveness.
