Intracranial Pressure Monitoring

Intracranial Pressure Monitoring

The Brain is a very complex system. It consists of nerves as well as fluids. The fluid in the Brain is called Cerebrospinal fluid. This is necessary as it forms a cushion that keeps the Brain and Spinal cord from accidental injury. It also delivers vital nutrients in the body and removes waste from the Brain. This liquid gets continuously absorbed by the bloodstream. Sometimes a problem in the brain can cause this fluid to rise and dip.

Normal Intracranial pressure should be between 5 to 15 mm Hg. The process to measure the spinal fluid is known as Intracranial pressure monitoring. This is the latest technology used by Brain surgeons to monitor the brain’s pressure level. This is performed by neurologists in special circumstances. In this ICP monitoring, a small pressure-sensitive probe is inserted in the skull. This helps in understanding the Brain’s fluid level.

In Intracranial pressure monitoring, an intraventricular catheter is inserted in the Brain through a small hole. This is a tube-like structure giving the accurate reading of spinal fluid. This helps the surgeon in deciding if the pressure in Brain is high or low.

Most neurosurgeons would recommend this only in certain special conditions like Brain Trauma or Brain tumour. It gives the most accurate Intracranial pressure at the time of the procedure itself. This plays an essential role in diagnosing and monitoring brain conditions.

The Intracranial pressure may vary if a person is sleeping. In some conditions, it may also change if the brain has a tumour.

This is not a usual technique but is rather much more efficient than the traditional methods. Most surgeons would recommend this only if;

1. Someone who has an elevated TBI without any reason. In this situation, a person will not have cerebral edema or intraventricular haemorrhage.

2. A person has a lesion in the back of the skull. This test diagnosis can confirm the presence of a tumour

3. A person has sudden undergone sudden brain trauma like an accident on the head.

In all these scenarios, The ICP level would read as 20 mm Hg. It helps neurosurgeons in giving the right line of treatment. It is done, before and after every brain surgery. ICP shows fluid level as higher than after the surgery. It is to check if decompressive craniectomy has lessened after the surgery.

It is the most used technique used by brain surgeons. It is a way to know that surgery is successful.

Endoscopic Brain Surgery

Endoscopic Brain Surgery

Brain is the most delicate organ. It is shaped in a semi-circle and divided in two parts. Brain can be considered the vital controller of your organs and day to day actions. There are many things which afflict your brain some are visible and some aren’t. Today most surgeons use Endoscopic brain surgery to do surgery. This has emerged as the most beneficial form of surgery.

Endoscopic brain surgery is a minimal invasive form of Brain surgery. This is the most preferred choice of surgeons as it gives the exact location of Brain ailment. It is much safer than the traditional method. This is the unique surgery as it keeps your brain healthy. A surgeon can access the Brain pathway through the nose or back of the skull. In endoscopy, a surgeon has an exact view of Brain on the screen. This helps in making small incisions on the skull or opening of the body. It allows the surgeons to access difficult parts of the brain with ease.

There are many reasons for doctors to choose Endoscopic brain surgery. It can work on all areas of the Brain with the correct precision. This surgery works well for people having Tumour on the back of the skull.

Its benefits:

There are many times when a person has no choice but to choose this surgery. This is the most ideal way to have a healthy and damage free spine for life.

1. Gives quick recovery time.

Most Brain surgeries take a longer time to recover. This is not the case in Endoscopic brain surgery. Here a person will recover quickly due to the nature of the operation. One doesn’t need to spend too much time in hospital. A person can go back home in 1-3 days.

2. Lowers Brain trauma

During the Brain surgery, it can be under stress. This can lead to brain trauma. But in Endoscopic brain surgery there is no such risk. The tumour is removed through a small incision which doesn’t cause trauma on the Brain. So, the risk of overall trauma becomes lessened.

3. Lessens side effects

It is common to assume that every surgery has side effects. In an endoscopic brain surgery, there is very little side effect. The nature of tissue disruption is very less hence side effects are nominal.

4. High success rate.

This is the only surgery having the highest success rate. It is more successful than a traditional Brain surgery.

Spinal Fixation

Spinal Fixation

Our spine is the longest bone structure in the body. It is shaped like a straight line. There are many connections of nerves coming from the spine. These are connected to the Brain. This makes a good spine health most critical for everyone. There are times when a person’s spine becomes damaged. The prominent reasons for damage to the spine are bone fracture, bone deformity and Degenerative vertebral disorder. The chances of spine damage increase when a person is suffering from Genetic degenerative vertebral disorder.

In such a scenario, the best option is to go for Spine fixation surgery. This surgery is performed by a spine surgeon. It is also known as “vertebral fixation.” Most surgeons would only recommend this surgery if a person’s 2 or more vertebrae are affected. In this surgery, surgeons would normally anchor 2 or more vertebrae with each other. This is usually maintained in place through “Spine fixation device.”

There are many variants of spine fixation devices like prosthesis, rods, plates and screws. It is of both permanent and semi hard nature. A surgeon would only use the best method to give the spine back its old agility.

Its benefits:

There are many times when a person has no choice but to choose this surgery. This is the most ideal way to have a healthy and damage free spine for life.

1. Spine deformity corrector.

A person is born with a straight spine. Sometimes due to genetic reasons one may develop spine deformity. And spine fixation comes to the aid in this scenario. A surgeon would fix bone like structure in between the spine the straighten the spine. It may be held together in its place through a screw or metal plate.

2. Strengthens spine.

There are chances that the spine may become unstable due to excessive motion. Spine fixation helps in stabilizing the spine with aid of metal rod or prosthesis. This gives the spine its old strength back.

3. Heals disc ailments.

Sometimes a person suffers from herniated disc ailments. In such conditions your herniated disc will get removed. Spine fixation devices help in stabilizing the spine. In the long run it removes the risk of developing herniated discs.

This has made spine fixation a critical part of major surgeries. Most surgeons today use this technology to heal a damaged spine. One can choose between permanent and semi-permanent devices. It has slowly become the popular choice of patients as well as doctors.
