We offer a broad spectrum of surgical procedures, including:

  • 24*7 Trauma & Accident Surgery: Emergency procedures such as craniotomy for extradural and subdural hematomas, contusions, and spinal surgery for complex trauma.
  • Spine Surgeries: Treatments for various spinal conditions, including cervical, thoracic, and lumbar problems like intervertebral disc prolapse, spinal stenosis, and spinal fractures. We also address more specialized issues such as craniovertebral junction abnormalities, atlantoaxial dislocation, and basilar invagination.
  • Spinal Dysraphism: Surgical interventions for complex spinal malformations.
