The state-of-the-art treatments at the Neurosurgery Department of the National Hospital comprehensively treat head injuries for the best possible care of patients. Our multispecialty team of neurosurgeons, neurologists, and critical care specialists works accurately to diagnose, manage, and rehabilitate head injuries. We treat head injuries that range from simple concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
Concussions: Minor traumatic brain injury which is caused by a blow to the head with symptoms of dizziness, headache, and confusion.
Skull Fractures: Cracks or cracks in the skull that do not necessarily mean damage to the brain tissue underneath
Intracranial Hematomas: Blood accumulation inside the skull because of broken blood vessels, which is divided into epidural, subdural, and intra cerebral hematomas.
Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI): Severe injuries to the brain white matter caused by shearing forces, most frequently encountered in the setting of more severe head injuries.
Penetrating Head Injuries: Head injuries resulting from the object perforating the skull and piercing the brain tissue
Treatment Plans:
Initial Care and Stabilization:
Outlined here is primarily stabilization of the patient, sufficient provision of oxygen, maintenance of blood flow to the brain, and stabilization of blood pressure.
The patients having severe head injury are also intubated and even kept on mechanical ventilation to assist breathing.
Neuroimaging and Diagnosis:
They can do advanced imaging studies, such as CT scans and MRI scanning, which may reveal how extensive the injury is, whether there are fractures in the skull, and even a blood clot and brain swelling.. This guides the appropriate intervention.
Surgical Interventions
Craniotomy: It refers to the surgical removal of a part of the skull that relieves pressure, blood clots evacuation, and even repair of damaged tissues.
DE compressive Craniotomy: The removal of part of the skull to relieve intracranial pressure due to swelling of the brain
Intracranial Pressure Monitoring: The placement of a pressure monitors in the brain for a critically injured patient whose ICP needs to be monitored and regulated.
Skull Fracture Repair: A surgical stabilization or reconstruction of fractured bones so to support and shield the brain.
Medical Management:

Medications, such as diuretics, anticonvulsants, and sedatives, are given to decrease brain swelling, suppress seizures, and control pain.
Some patients require long-term ICU care.
The rehabilitation and long-term care may comprise:
Physical therapy Occupational therapy Speech therapy Neuropsychological support to recover optimal functional capacity and quality of life.
Neurosurgeons, rehabilitation doctors / specialists are followed on a continued basis in order to monitor progress and make necessary modifications in treatment plans.
Area of Experience: Neurosurgeons acquire deep experience in managing complicated trauma to the head. They use some of the state-of-the-art technologies available in practice that are aligned with evidence-based practice.
Broad Care: From emergency interventions to long-term rehabilitation, we can offer a full spectrum of services tailored to the needs of each patient.
Our department has state-of-the-art imaging and surgical facilities at our disposal.
And thus, the Neurosurgery Department of National Hospital starts to retrieve health and hope for head-injury casualties. The goal is best possible treatment; thereby, as perfectly as a patient can recover and go back to be in normal life.
