The Department of Neurosurgery provides comprehensive and affordable neurosurgical care, serving as the only dedicated round-the-clock neurosurgical facility in the Kulasekharam and Kanyakumari region. For many years, the department has been at the forefront of treating a wide range of conditions, including head injuries, brain and spinal tumors, congenital disorders, degenerative spine diseases, and neurovascular problems.
Our team is supported by advanced microsurgical equipment and a modern operating suite staffed by nurses trained specifically in neurosurgical procedures. The ICU is equipped with skilled nursing staff and ventilator support to manage all neurosurgical emergencies. Key equipment includes high-end operating microscopes, C-arm imaging, specialized operating tables, and neurosurgical drills necessary for intricate surgeries.
The department routinely performs procedures such as brain tumor excisions, posterior fossa surgeries, cerebellopontine angle operations, neurovascular interventions, spinal decompression, spinal tumor surgeries, and spinal instrumentation. These surgeries are performed regularly with successful patient outcomes.
We are committed to maintaining high standards of patient care, continuous improvement, and professional development. Regular clinical audits, interdisciplinary collaboration, and close coordination with Radiodiagnosis, Pathology, and Anaesthesiology strengthen our diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes. The department also focuses on academic growth through seminars, journal clubs, case discussions, clinical meetings, and teaching programs for postgraduate residents and junior staff.
