Neurovascular surgery deals with  the blood vessels; damaged, injured, or malformed can cause bleeding problems resulting in strokes and other symptoms. Neurovascular surgery can be performed either openly or with minimally invasive surgical techniques. Both open and endovascular procedures have their roles; both are not alternatives to each other; each pathology needs its perfect treatment match.

Dual-Trained comprehensive Neurovascular Surgeon

Dr. Mohana Rao Patibandla at Dr. Rao’s hospital is a dual-trained hybrid neurosurgeon who can perform both open and endovascular and can do patient-centric vascular treatments. 

Neurovascular surgeons work with:

• Interventional neuroradiology
• Spine
• Skull base tumors
• Stroke

Conditions & Treatments

• Carotid Angioplasty
• Arteriovenous malformations
• Atherosclerotic disease of the blood vessels
• Brain hemorrhage
• Carotid dissection
• Carotid and cerebral stents
• Carotid stenosis
• Cerebral aneurysm
• Coiling
• Clipping
• Cavernomas (cavernous cerebral malformations)
• Embolectomy
• Chiari malformation
• Dural arteriovenous fistulae
• Extracranial/intracranial bypass
• Idiopathic intracranial hypertension
• Intracerebral hemorrhage
• Intra-arterial thrombolysis
• IIH/Pseudotumor cerebri
• Spinal AVM or aneurysm
• Stroke – ischemic or hemorrhagic
• Subarachnoid hemorrhage – SAH
• Vertebral compression fracture
• Vasospasm

Types of Neurovascular Surgery

• Endovascular Neurosurgery
• Open neurosurgery

Endovascular Neurosurgery

It is often called neuro-interventional surgery or endovascular neurosurgery, and interventional neuroradiology is a branch of neurovascular surgery that uses minimally invasive procedures coupled with fluoroscopy to deliver the best treatment to blood vessel pathology, in general catheter-based and treat stroke, aneurysms, and other blood vessel conditions of the head, neck, and spine. This minimally invasive approach often offers less blood loss, faster recovery times, less scarring, less pain, a lesser stay in the hospital, and less stress for your body compared to open surgery. Still, it is only appropriate for some conditions but not all.

Open Surgery

Sometimes some aneurysms or arteriovenous vascular malformations require only an open surgical approach that allows the neurosurgeon to repair the problem. In these cases, open neurosurgery is a safer, precise, accurate, and more effective alternative to the minimally invasive.

Hybrid Surgery & Advanced Technology

Our dual-trained surgeon, Dr. Mohana Rao Patibandla, can perform micro neurosurgery (including clipping or bypass surgery) and endovascular intervention and can combine these modalities to address challenging diseases. Some complex lesions require open and minimally invasive approaches, such as hybrid surgery. In these specific cases, Dr. Rao uses a combination of open surgery and endovascular techniques to treat blood vessel disease.

At Dr. Rao’s Hospital, we have a hybrid neurovascular operating room where we can perform both endovascular and open surgical procedures. This room features an intraoperative CT scan that allows for real-time imaging during surgery, as well as an angiography suite where the surgeon can visualize blood vessels while performing microsurgery. Are you looking for the best neurovascular surgery either open micro neurosurgery or minimally invasive endovascular neurosurgery, Dr. Rao’s hospital is the best and contact us @ 9010056444 or 9010057444.
