Manipal Hospital treats neurological conditions with cutting-edge techniques and innovations, including robotics, minimally invasive surgery, intraoperative MRI, stereotactic radiosurgery, computer-assisted brain surgery, and deep brain stimulation. At Manipal Hospital, Gurugram Deep Brain Stimulation is safe, viable, and recommended treatment option for patients suffering from Parkinson's disease, essential tremors, dystonia, and other conditions. The DBS procedure involves implanting a battery-powered device known as a neurostimulator (similar to a pacemaker) beneath the skin of the upper chest. The neurostimulator stimulates brain areas that control movement. This helps to block nerve signals that cause abnormal movements.

Manipal Hospital performs DBS surgery in two parts: brain and chest surgery. The surgical team will first secure the patient's head on a special head frame before using neuroimaging (CT or brain MRI) to map the brain and identify the exact area in the brain where the electrodes will be placed. The electrodes are usually placed while the patient is alert and awake. The surgeon will implant the part of the device that contains the batteries (pulse generator) under the skin in the patient's chest, near the collarbone, in the second part of the surgery. Dr. Nishant Shanker Yagnick is a brain and spine specialist at the Manipal Hospital, Gurugram.
