Deep Brain Stimulation in Manipal Hospital, Yeshwantpur : Cost & Doctors

Deep Brain Stimulation at Manipal Hospital, Yeshwantpur is a safe, viable, and recommended option for patients with conditions like Parkinson’s disease, essential tremors, dystonia, etc. At the hospital, the surgery can be performed with minimal invasion. The DBS procedure employs a battery-powered device known as a neurostimulator (similar to a pacemaker) that is implanted beneath the skin of the upper chest. The neurostimulator stimulates the areas of the brain that control movement. This aids in the blocking of nerve signals that cause abnormal movements.

To significantly improve patient outcomes, the hospital employs the most recent advances in medical and device technology. 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. Avinash K M And Dr. Raghuram G are brain and spine specialists at the Manipal Hospital, Yeshwantpur.
