Frequently Asked Questions

Functional neurosurgery is a highly specialized branch of neurosurgery that focuses exclusively on restoring and improving the function of brain and spinal cord in patients with chronic neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease, tremors, dystonia, obsessive compulsive disorders, epilepsy and chronic pain etc. Functional neurosurgery modulates the electrical and chemical activity of the nervous system to relieve the symptoms. Thus, patients with Parkinson’s disease and tremors can live normal life.

Prof. Dr. Rajinder Kumar’s team provide a comprehensive brain and spine care to patients of all age groups. His team has expertise to provide very high quality and standards of care for all varieties of pathologies like complex adult and pediatric brain and spinal tumors, vascular pathologies like AVM, Aneurysm, skull base lesions, brachial plexus and nerve injuries, congenital pediatric problems like spinal dysraphism, hydrocephalus, spinal deformities etc. He specializes in endoscopic and minimally invasive surgeries for brain, spine and skull base tumors like pituitary tumor, craniopharyngioma etc.

At Yashoda Medicity, Neurosurgeons use stat of art machines and technology like advanced neuro-navigation with stealth station and O arm. This technology provides three-dimensional view, while operating on brain and spine with sub millimetric accuracy. These technologies use artificial intelligence for complete tumor excision with safety and accuracy. O arm helps in navigating hardware in spine with perfect precision. This leads to smaller incision thus leading to fast and safe recovery.

A tiny opening is made through the skull to access the problem vessel during microsurgical clipping. Under powerful microscopic view, the surgeon secures a miniature metal clamp at the base of the aneurysm, which prevents it from rupturing. This procedure requires experience, delicate handling of all perforators (micro vessels in the vicinity)

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure that involves implanting electrodes into specific areas of the brain to deliver mild electrical pulses. These pulses control abnormal signals and modulate activity of these cells thus relieving symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and tremors etc. similar to how a heart pacemaker works for the heart. DBS is typically recommended to treat the patients with Parkinsons disease, tremors, OCD, dystonia (abnormal body movements), epilepsy.
This procedure improves quality of life significantly.

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery provides a non-invasive alternative for brain tumors by focusing 192+ precisely aimed radiation beams to destroy tumors, vascular malformations, metastasis with sub millimetric accuracy, without surgical incisions or general anesthesia. It is an outpatient procedure using high-dose radiation to stop tumor growth while sparing healthy tissue, typically letting patients return to normal activity within a day or two. People who are unfit for surgery, often benefit the most. Elderly patients or those with several health issues find this method useful. Tumors buried deep in the brain respond well too. No knife ever touches skin during the process.

Through the nose, doctors reach tumors using tiny tools, Endoscope with neuro navigation. With help of high-resolution cameras, doctors can see hidden spots and remove all tumor safely without harming the nearby structures

Spina bifida is a congenital condition with a swelling at back. Spinal cord is tethered and sometimes exposed. It requires very delicate handling and repair by experienced Neurosurgeon. In hydrocephalus too much fluid in brain causes pressure and head enlargement. Such conditions are treated either with endoscope or with shunt to drain the excess fluid.

Trigeminal neuralgia is extremely painful condition involving one side of face. A patient should seek an urgent neurosurgical consultation if they experience sudden, electric-shock-like facial pain triggered by simple actions like brushing teeth or eating. Surgical options like Microvascular Decompression (MVD) provides quick and long-lasting relief.

Brachial plexus injuries generally occur in young age groups involved in motor bike accidents. There are many nerves coming from spinal cord, travelling to shoulder, arm and forearm. They get damaged along this course. It needs to be identified and repaired on time. Delay may lead to permanent loss of function of limb. Neurosurgeons repair these damaged nerves either directly or by taking nerve grafts from other body sites.

Both these procedures require correct understanding and delicate handling. With over 30 years of experience, he brings deep expertise and a wealth of knowledge to optimize surgical outcomes of such patients.

At any hour, families across Ghaziabad can find urgent help for brain and spine emergencies through Prof. Dr. Rajinder Kumar's guidance at state of art hospitals at Yashoda Medicity. There are specialized intensive care units, backed by constant scanning technology like CT, MRI, PET to catch every detail without delay under supervision of highly trained and experienced specialists. Here the operating rooms stay prepared, day or night, for critical moments after head trauma, strokes, or when movement suddenly stops due to spinal issues. Expertise meets readiness here, where high-level treatment never waits. Care shaped by precision runs deep within these walls, always switched on.
