Specialised management of neurological and spine conditions, backed by a dedicated post-operative ICU and Medtronic surgical navigation.
Mangala Hospital's Neurosurgery department provides comprehensive management of neurological and spine conditions, backed by a panel of experienced neuro-physicians and neurosurgeons and a dedicated post-operative ICU for the close monitoring these cases often need in the early recovery period.
The department is equipped with a dedicated neurosurgery operating microscope, motorised craniotomes and burrs, and micro-instruments for procedures as delicate as intracranial aneurysm clipping and tumour surgery. Endoscopic neurosurgery is available for select transsphenoidal pituitary procedures, and — shared with our ENT department — the Medtronic STEALTH S8 Neuro-ENT navigation system supports complex skull-base and transnasal surgery requiring millimetre-level precision.
Beyond cranial surgery, the team manages the full range of spine conditions, from simple discectomy to complex anterior reconstruction, and offers two technique-driven treatments for spinal disease: vertebroplasty, which stabilises osteoporotic spinal fractures with bone cement injected through a small needle, and laminoplasty, which relieves spinal cord compression while preserving spinal mobility. Head injury and trauma are managed round the clock in coordination with Casualty and Critical Care.

Call: 0824 244 3088Purpose-built optics for cranial and spine procedures requiring maximum precision.
Purpose-built tools for intracranial aneurysm clipping and tumour surgery.
Shared with ENT, this system guides complex skull-base and pituitary surgery with real-time precision.
Immediate pain relief and restored vertebral height for osteoporotic fractures, via a minimally invasive needle technique.
Relieves multi-level spinal cord compression in about an hour of surgery, with minimal blood loss and no collar needed beyond two weeks.
Round-the-clock monitoring for patients recovering from cranial and spine surgery.
Burr-hole surgery, craniotomy and tumour removal are performed for head injury, intracranial bleeding and brain tumours. A dedicated neurosurgery microscope, motorised craniotomes and fine micro-instruments support controlled work around delicate brain and vascular structures.
The team manages spinal conditions ranging from slipped discs requiring discectomy or microdiscectomy to complex anterior reconstruction. Imaging-led planning aims to relieve nerve or spinal-cord compression while preserving stability and limiting unnecessary tissue disruption.
Vertebroplasty stabilises selected painful osteoporotic vertebral fractures through a small image-guided access route. Laminoplasty creates more room for a compressed cervical spinal cord while preserving movement, with the approach selected according to the level and extent of narrowing.
Select pituitary and skull-base conditions can be approached endoscopically through the nose. The Medtronic STEALTH S8 Neuro-ENT navigation system supports precise anatomical orientation during complex transnasal and skull-base procedures, with recovery backed by a dedicated post-operative ICU.
Clinical evaluation of your neurological symptoms and history.
CT or MRI imaging to precisely locate and characterise the problem.
Cranial or spine surgery, or medical management, planned around your specific diagnosis.
Close post-operative monitoring followed by coordinated rehabilitation and follow-up.
Loss of consciousness, repeated vomiting, worsening headache, confusion, unequal pupil size, or seizures after a head injury are all warning signs that need immediate evaluation — please come to our Casualty department without delay.
Most disc problems improve with rest, medication and physiotherapy. Surgery is usually considered when there is significant nerve compression causing weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or pain that hasn't responded to conservative treatment over a reasonable period.
Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive treatment for painful spinal fractures, most often caused by osteoporosis, where bone cement is injected into the fractured vertebra to relieve pain and restore height — worth discussing if you have a painful osteoporotic spine fracture that hasn't settled with conservative care.
Laminoplasty itself takes about an hour and involves minimal blood loss; most patients do not need to wear a neck collar for more than two weeks, with a comparatively swift return to daily activity.
Not necessarily — treatment depends on the tumour's type, size, location and your overall health. Some are monitored, some treated with radiation or medication, and others require surgical removal; your neurosurgeon will explain the most appropriate option after imaging and assessment.
