Frequently Asked Questions

Neurosurgery is a specialised branch of medicine focused on the surgical treatment of conditions affecting the brain, spine, and nervous system. As a qualified Neurosurgeon in Delhi NCR, Dr. Ajay Prajapati specialises in conditions such as brain tumours, neurovascular conditions, spinal disorders, and brain and spine trauma. His areas of expertise also include minimally invasive and endoscopic brain and spine surgery, skull base surgery, paediatric neurosurgery, stereotactic biopsy, and Gamma Knife radiosurgery.

Minimally invasive and endoscopic neurosurgery may be used for selected brain and spine conditions, depending on the diagnosis and location of the condition. As a Minimally Invasive Brain & Spine Surgery Specialist, Dr. Ajay Prajapati has expertise in minimally invasive and endoscopic brain surgery as well as endoscopic spine surgery. These approaches can provide access to selected areas through smaller surgical openings while aiming to minimise disruption to surrounding tissues.

Conditions involving spinal instability and selected degenerative or structural spinal disorders may require procedures such as TLIF and PLIF. Dr. Ajay Prajapati specialises in spinal fixation procedures, including TLIF and PLIF, as well as minimally invasive and endoscopic spine surgery. The choice of procedure depends on the patient's diagnosis, spinal anatomy, symptoms, and overall clinical condition.

Endoscopic spine surgery may be considered for selected spinal conditions, including certain disc-related disorders and nerve compression, when surgical treatment is appropriate. The procedure uses an endoscope inserted through a small access point to provide visual access to the affected area. Potential benefits of minimally invasive approaches may include smaller surgical access and reduced disruption to surrounding tissues in suitable cases. The appropriate surgical technique is determined after a detailed clinical evaluation.

Stereotactic biopsy uses image guidance to obtain a small tissue sample from a brain lesion for pathological examination. This technique can be useful for lesions that are located deep within the brain or are difficult to access through conventional surgery. Dr. Ajay Prajapati has expertise in stereotactic biopsy. Following diagnosis, treatment may involve surgery, radiosurgery, radiation therapy, or other approaches depending on the tumour type, location, size, and clinical characteristics.

Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a non-invasive form of stereotactic radiosurgery that delivers highly focused radiation to selected areas of the brain. It may be used for certain brain tumours, vascular malformations, and other suitable neurological conditions. Gamma Knife radiosurgery is listed among Dr. Ajay Prajapati's areas of expertise. The suitability of this treatment depends on factors such as the type, size, location, and characteristics of the lesion.

Neurovascular conditions and skull-base disorders require detailed evaluation and specialised treatment planning. Dr. Ajay Prajapati's areas of expertise include neurovascular surgery and skull base surgery, along with minimally invasive and endoscopic brain surgery. Depending on the specific condition, treatment may involve microsurgical or other specialised neurosurgical approaches. The treatment plan is determined based on the patient's diagnosis and individual clinical requirements.

Paediatric neurosurgical conditions and brain and spine trauma require specialised assessment and treatment. Dr. Ajay Prajapati's areas of expertise include paediatric neurosurgery and brain and spine trauma. Depending on the condition, treatment may involve surgical intervention, endoscopic procedures, or other appropriate neurosurgical management. The choice of treatment depends on the nature and severity of the condition.
