The department offers treatment for all sorts of brain and spine tumours, including intra & extramedullary, supra & infratentorial, sellar & suprasellar, and skull base tumours. Our surgeons have expertise in meningiomas, pituitary adenomas and vestibular schwannomas (acoustic tumours). Tumours surgeries involve endoscopic and micro-surgeries. Further management of these cancer patients is provided by our medical oncologists with chemotherapy facilities.

The department offers treatment for neurological disorders in children and adolescents. We specialize in surgeries like brain and spine tumours & injuries, shunts, cranial & spinal dysraphism, idiopathic adolescent scoliosis, epilepsy, movement disorders, cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus and other congenital disorders, etc. Neurosurgeons work closely with paediatric physicians and other specialists to provide the highest level of coordinated care to children.
