Neurosurgery covers a wide range of conditions involving the brain, spine and nervous system. Dr. Gaurav Sharma provides specialised care for complex brain and spine conditions, including tumours, trauma and selected disorders requiring surgical evaluation.
A neurosurgical consultation may be considered when a brain or spine condition requires specialist assessment, particularly when symptoms are persistent, complex or may require a surgical opinion. A detailed clinical evaluation helps determine the appropriate next step.
The consultation begins with a review of your symptoms, medical history and available reports or scans. Based on the clinical assessment, the doctor may discuss further investigations, treatment options and whether surgical or non-surgical management is appropriate.
Dr. Gaurav Sharma has expertise in surgery for tumours involving the brain and spine. Treatment planning depends on the location, nature and individual characteristics of the tumour and the patient's overall clinical condition.
Skull base surgery involves treating conditions located in or around the complex structures at the base of the skull. Because of the anatomy in this region, treatment requires careful assessment and specialised neurosurgical planning.
Endoscopic neurosurgery uses an endoscope to help access and visualise selected areas during treatment. Whether an endoscopic approach is suitable depends on the condition, its location and the individual patient's clinical requirements.
A brain aneurysm is an abnormal bulging or weakening of a blood vessel in the brain. Some aneurysms may require monitoring, while others may need specialist intervention depending on their characteristics and the patient's clinical situation.
Head injuries can range from minor to serious. Symptoms, examination findings and imaging results help determine the severity and the need for specialist care. A neurosurgical assessment may be required when there is concern about an injury involving the brain or related structures.
Management depends on the type and severity of the injury. Assessment may include clinical examination and imaging, followed by observation, medical management or surgical intervention when indicated.
His areas of expertise include degenerative spine diseases, spinal decompression, fusion and deformity surgery, along with minimally invasive spine surgery and management of complex spine conditions.
Minimally invasive spine surgery uses smaller access points and specialised techniques for selected spinal procedures. The suitability of this approach depends on the diagnosis, anatomy and treatment requirements of each patient.
Surgery is considered only after a detailed evaluation of the condition, symptoms, examination and relevant investigations. Depending on the diagnosis, non-surgical treatment may also be an appropriate option.
The craniovertebral junction is the area where the skull and upper spine meet. Conditions affecting this region can be complex and require detailed imaging and specialist neurosurgical assessment before a treatment plan is made.
Complex neurosurgical conditions can involve sensitive structures and may require careful interpretation of clinical findings and imaging. A specialist assessment helps establish the nature of the problem and discuss appropriate treatment options.
No. Treatment depends on the specific diagnosis, symptoms, examination and investigations. Depending on the condition, management may involve observation, medication, rehabilitation, other non-surgical measures or surgery.
