Deep Brain Stimulation in Global Health City : Cost & Doctors

The Department of Neurosurgery at Gleneagles Global Hospital is outfitted with advanced diagnostic laboratories, and cutting-edge assistive technology, and operates in a cutting-edge environment. Stealth Navigation (S8) System, Advanced Surgical Microscopes, Cavitron Ultrasonic Aspirator (CUSA), CRW Stereotactic Equipment, Transcranial Doppler, Intracranial Pressure Monitoring Equipment, Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (Brain Mapping), and imaging technologies such as 3 Tesla MRI/ Functional MRI, Diffusion Tensor Imaging, CT Angiography, and Digital Subtraction Angiography are available in the department.

Every year, the department performs over a thousand surgical procedures. Deep brain stimulation is a treatment option at Gleneagles Hospital for the motor-function loss associated with Parkinson's disease. Tremors, poor hand-eye coordination, difficulty walking, and stiffness are all symptoms. An electrode is implanted in the brain, and an implantable pulse generator is implanted in the sub clavicle region, which is linked by an extension cable. To counteract the movement tics associated with Parkinson's disease, the pulse generator sends small electrical signals to an electrode in the brain.
