Elective brain surgery refers to non-emergency type surgeries performed by a neurosurgeon to treat congenital or acquired conditions.
These may include:
- Abnormalities of the intracranial blood vessels, eg. Aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations
- Epilepsy surgery
- Infective conditions, eg. Abscess drainage, evacuation of subdural empyemas
- Nerve decompression, eg. Trigeminal neuralgia
- Hydrocephalus – congenital and acquired (both shunt placement and endoscopic)
- Brain tumours both benign and malignant
Common symptoms encountered when dealing with the above-mentioned conditions may include severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, and seizures. Dr. Kolloori is a highly skilled and meticulous neurosurgeon who strives to treat each surgery on a case-by-case basis with a holistic patient-centered approach
