Overview
Aster Hospitals is a renowned medical institution in India committed to providing top-quality healthcare services to its patients. The hospital offers various medical specialties and state-of-the-art technology to ensure patients receive the best care.
One of the cutting-edge procedures offered at Aster Hospitals is neuroendoscopy. This minimally invasive surgical process involves using an endoscope, a long, flexible tube with a video camera, and a light source. The endoscope enables the surgeon to perform a range of procedures with the help of specialized instruments, making it ideal for locating tumors in various locations.
The endoscope can perform a range of procedures with the help of specialized instruments. Its maneuverability makes it ideal for locating tumors in various locations. The different locations where an endoscope can be helpful are:
Treating skull base diseases involves inhaling through the nose.
Brain tumors or craniofacial conditions involve making small incisions on the top of the head.
For spinal disease, small incisions are made in the back.
Neuroendoscopy, or endoscopic neurosurgery, is a cutting-edge procedure that enables surgeons to remove tumors, perform tissue biopsy, and treat various conditions without resorting to traditional open surgery. By avoiding invasive methods, neuroendoscopy ensures a safer and more effective solution.
It provides faster recovery and fewer complications. With its ability to offer a range of benefits, neuroendoscopy is the go-to procedure for patients seeking a safe and efficient alternative to traditional brain surgery.
Aster Hospitals’ team of experienced neurosurgeons and support staff are highly skilled in performing neuroendoscopic surgeries, ensuring patients receive the best possible care. With its commitment to providing the latest medical technologies and highly trained medical professionals, Aster Hospitals is a leading medical institution in India.

The experts will ask you to go through specific diagnostic tests. The test results will assist them in assessing your medical condition.
Cerebral angiogram allows doctors to visualize the blood vessels in the brain. It can help them determine any irregularities or blockages in the blood vessels contributing to a patient's symptoms.
Computed tomography (CT) scan provides a detailed image of the patient's brain. It helps the surgeon navigate the delicate brain structures during the procedure. With a CT scan, the surgeon can locate the exact site of the tumor and understand its size and shape.
Electroencephalography (EEG) allows for real-time brain activity monitoring. It helps surgeons identify any potential complications during the surgery process. EEG can also help locate areas of the brain responsible for specific functions.
Lumbar puncture allows the physician to collect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for analysis. It can help diagnose infections, bleeding, tumors, and other abnormalities in the brain. In a lumbar puncture, experts insert a needle into the lower back to access the spinal canal and collect the CSF. The information gleaned from a lumbar puncture can be invaluable in guiding proper diagnosis and treatment for neurological conditions.
It assists in specifying the exact genetic mutations present in the tumor. Using this information, experts at Aster Hospitals can create personalized treatment plans. This treatment plan will cure the specific mutations present in the tumor. Further, molecular testing can assist in predicting the possibility of recurrence and the efficacy of certain cures.
With magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), you can have detailed images of the brain and its surrounding areas. This imaging technique allows neurosurgeons to precisely locate the target area for surgery and plan their approach accordingly. MRI also helps determine the size of the tumor. It can assist in deciding the projection and the appropriate treatment options.
Myelogram helps to identify any abnormalities in the spinal cord or nerve roots by injecting contrast material into the spinal canal. The contrast material highlights the spinal cord and nerve roots, making it easier for the neurosurgeon to identify potential issues.
With these tests, brain care experts at Aster Hospitals can better understand the patient's overall health. They can pinpoint any probable issues that may surface during the procedure.
These imaging techniques deliver information about the site and size of tumors. They can also inform about anomalies in the brain. PET scans use a radioactive tracer that highlights areas of increased metabolic activity. It can reveal the presence of cancer or other diseases. Neuroendoscopists can better plan surgeries and other treatments using PET and PET-CT scans, improving patient outcomes.
Tissue sampling or biopsy allows the collection of tissue samples from the brain or spinal cord. It helps diagnose various conditions, such as tumors, infections, and inflammation. Doctors can study the cells under a microscope from a tissue sample. It would help doctors to determine the most suitable treatment for patients.
When at Aster Hospitals, you need not worry about the treatment and procedures. The experts here will take care of everything.
