Pediatric Neurosurgery
Pediatric Neurosurgery
Pediatric neurosurgery focuses on the surgical treatment of neurological disorders in children, from newborns to adolescents. At City Care Hospital, our team of specialized pediatric neurosurgeons is dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care for children with conditions affecting the brain, spine, and nervous system.
Conditions We Treat
Brain Tumors
Our team performs precise surgical removal of both benign and malignant brain tumors. We aim to eliminate the tumor while preserving as much neurological function as possible, enhancing the child’s quality of life. Our approach includes complex surgeries that require meticulous planning to minimize risks and maximize outcomes.
Spina Bifida
Spina bifida is a spinal column defect that can lead to significant complications. Our treatment includes surgical closure of the defect and management of associated conditions like hydrocephalus (fluid buildup in the brain) and tethered cord syndrome. This comprehensive care helps prevent further neurological damage and supports optimal development.
Hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus is caused by excessive cerebrospinal fluid accumulation in the brain, leading to increased pressure. We manage this condition through procedures such as shunt placement or endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) to relieve pressure, prevent brain damage, and improve overall brain function.
Epilepsy
For children with drug-resistant epilepsy, we offer surgical options to control or eliminate seizures. Procedures such as lesionectomy (removal of seizure-causing tissue), lobectomy (removal of a brain lobe), or corpus callosotomy (separating brain hemispheres) can significantly improve seizure control and enhance quality of life.
Craniosynostosis
Craniosynostosis occurs when skull sutures close too early, affecting brain and skull growth. We perform corrective surgery to restore normal skull shape and prevent developmental delays, ensuring proper brain development and reducing the risk of cognitive and physical impairments.
Chiari Malformations
Chiari malformations occur when the cerebellum is displaced downward, leading to coordination and balance issues. Surgical decompression is performed to relieve pressure on the brain and spinal cord, improving symptoms and function.
Spinal Cord Tumors
We specialize in the surgical removal of tumors within or around the spinal cord. Our goal is to prevent neurological deterioration, alleviate symptoms, and preserve spinal cord function, ensuring the best possible outcome for the child’s health and mobility.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
City Care Hospital utilizes the latest surgical techniques and technology to ensure the best possible outcomes for our pediatric patients:
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: Whenever possible, we employ minimally invasive techniques to reduce trauma, shorten recovery times, and minimize scarring.
- Intraoperative Monitoring: Advanced neurophysiological monitoring during surgery to protect critical neural structures and optimize surgical outcomes.
- Multidisciplinary Approach: Collaboration with pediatric neurologists, oncologists, radiologists, and rehabilitation specialists to provide comprehensive care and support for each child and their family.
