Cerebrovascular conditions and skull-base disorders require detailed evaluation and specialised treatment planning. Diagnostic assessment may involve appropriate brain imaging and vascular studies, depending on the suspected condition. Dr. Gaurav Batra's areas of expertise include cerebrovascular and skull-base neurosurgery, as well as image-guided neurosurgery and endoscopic endonasal procedures for selected conditions. The treatment approach depends on the specific diagnosis, anatomy, and clinical requirements of the patient.

Minimally invasive and endoscopic approaches may be considered for selected spinal conditions based on the patient's diagnosis and surgical requirements. As a specialist in Brain, Spine Tumour & Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery, Dr. Gaurav Batra has expertise in minimally invasive, endoscopic, and complex spine surgery. These techniques are designed to provide appropriate surgical access while aiming to minimise disruption to surrounding tissues when clinically suitable.

Endoscopic endonasal surgery is a specialised approach that can provide access to selected pituitary tumours and skull-base lesions through the nasal passage. Dr. Gaurav Batra specialises in endoscopic endonasal and pituitary surgery. Depending on the condition, this approach can avoid a traditional external incision and provide access to lesions located in complex areas of the skull base. The suitability of this technique depends on the patient's individual diagnosis and anatomy.

Functional neurosurgery and neuromodulation may be considered for selected patients with conditions such as epilepsy and movement disorders. Dr. Gaurav Batra has expertise in epilepsy surgery, functional neurosurgery, and neuromodulation, including deep brain stimulation. Treatment is tailored to the patient's specific condition following appropriate neurological assessment and evaluation.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) may be considered for selected patients with movement disorders when symptoms are not adequately controlled with other treatments. The procedure involves placing electrodes in specific areas of the brain and connecting them to an implanted pulse generator that delivers controlled electrical stimulation. Dr. Gaurav Batra has expertise in deep brain stimulation for movement disorders, with treatment decisions based on individual patient assessment and suitability.

The treatment of hydrocephalus, paediatric neurosurgical conditions, and brain and spine trauma depends on the underlying condition and its severity. Surgical options may include procedures such as endoscopic techniques or shunt surgery for selected cases of hydrocephalus, while traumatic brain and spine injuries may require appropriate surgical intervention based on the nature of the injury. Dr. Gaurav Batra's areas of expertise include paediatric neurosurgery and hydrocephalus surgery, brain and spine trauma, and neuroendoscopy.
