This department plays a vital role in emergency trauma services in addition to performing planned surgeries. The department is equipped with an operating microscope. This has improved the neurosurgical techniques in areas such as excision of brain tumors (supratentorial and infratentorial) spinal cord tumors, and congenital spinal cord lesions. Clipping of intra cranial aneurysms, evacuation of intracerebral and extracerebral hemorrhages, microscopic decompression of spinal cord and microdiscectomy are also being done routinely. The availability of 64 slice CT scanning and MRI scanning within the hospital have allowed much more precise diagnosis and localization for surgical procedures. The department is ably supported by a surgical intensive care unit with all the vital equipments such as ventilators and monitors.
