Aneurysm Clipping : ย A surgical procedure to remove a potentially life-threatening brain aneurysm (a ballooning of a weak spot in an artery). A small metal clip is used to block blood flow to the aneurysm, preventing rupture and bleeding in the brain.

Epilepsy Surgery : ย An option for patients with severe epilepsy who don't respond to medications. Surgery removes or disconnects a small area of the brain causing seizures, aiming for seizure freedom or significant reduction in seizure frequency.

Neuromodulation : ย A broad term encompassing various techniques that use electrical stimulation, magnetic fields, or other methods to modulate the activity of the nervous system. This can be used to treat conditions like epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, chronic pain, and depression.

Brain Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) Embolization : Closes abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the brain using materials like coils to prevent bleeding and neurological deficits.

Laminectomy : A surgical procedure that removes a portion of the vertebral bone (lamina) to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, treating conditions like spinal stenosis.

Foot Drop : Not a procedure, but a symptom of nerve damage causing difficulty lifting the front part of the foot. It can be treated through various procedures depending on the cause.

Carotid Cavernous Fistula Treatment : Closes abnormal connections between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus (a network of veins at the base of the skull) to prevent vision problems, headaches, and other complications.

Petrosal Sinus Sampling : Uses a catheter to collect blood samples from the petrosal sinuses (drains for blood from the brain) to diagnose certain hormonal disorders like Cushing's syndrome.

Spinal and Cerebral Tumor Embolization : Uses embolization techniques like coils to block blood flow to tumors in the brain or spine, shrinking them and reducing symptoms before or in conjunction with other treatments.

Brain Dural AVF Embolization : Similar to brain AVF embolization, but focuses on abnormal connections between arteries and veins near the dura mater, the tough membrane surrounding the brain.

Brain Aneurysm Coiling : Inserts a tiny coil into a brain aneurysm (a ballooning of a weak spot in an artery) to block blood flow and prevent rupture.

Head & Neck Tumour Embolization : Reduces blood flow to tumors in the head and neck using embolization techniques, potentially shrinking the tumor and improving outcomes for surgery or radiation therapy.

Carotid Body Tumour Embolization : Closes off blood flow to a tumor on the carotid body (located near the carotid artery in the neck) to prevent excessive hormone production and symptoms like high blood pressure and sweating.
