    Neuro-navigation

    Neuro-navigation is an advanced technology that assists neurosurgeons in performing precise and minimally invasive surgeries by providing detailed imaging of brain and spinal structures thereby avoiding damage to the surrounding normal neural structures. The technology is like the navigation systems used in mobile phones and automobiles.

    At Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, our neurosurgeons are adept in utilising this cutting-edge technology to enhance surgical accuracy and improve patient outcomes.

    How Does Neuro-navigation Help?

    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) images are taken before the surgery. These images are uploaded into the neuro-navigation system. By placing a probe on the skin surface, the safest and shortest road map to the region of interest like a timour is produced by the navigation system. This allows neurosurgeons to carry out necessary interventions with minimal complications.

    Clinical Applications of Neuro-Navigation

    Some of the clinical applications of neuro-navigation include:

    • Precise location of small-brain tumours, especially in skull-base surgeries, and avoid critical blood vessels and important nerves, such as carotid artery and cranial nerves.
    • Provide accurate guidance for brain biopsies.
    • Supports neurosurgeons in performing endoscopic procedures by providing accurate roadmaps and trajectories.
    • Assists in treating movement disorders and pain, including epilepsy by facilitating precise electrode placement for deep brain stimulation (DBS)
    • Aids in the insertion of screws during spinal surgery, particularly in the thoracic and Lumbar region.
    • Guides in shunt placements for conditions like hydrocephalus.
    • Facilitates in carrying out target localisation during surgery for Parkinson’s disease.

    FAQ's

    Neuro-navigation is mostly used for complex brain surgeries, such as craniotomy for brain tumour resection and other surgeries of the brain that involve targeting the deeper structures of the brain. Our neurosurgeons will determine and discuss whether this technology is appropriate for your specific case.

    Neuro-navigation systems offer several benefits, such as enhanced surgical precision, minimal invasiveness, reduced procedure time, fewer complications, less likelihood of errors, and a higher success rate.
