We welcome you to the Neurosurgery unit of Molly Specialist Hospital. The unit performs quite a number of adult neurosurgical procedures that range from treating congenital anomalies to complex brain aneurysms and trauma.
Brain trauma results from an injury to head often caused by a fall or road traffic accident (RTA). The brain “floats” inside the skull and is vulnerable to sudden, high energy force. The delicate tissue can be injured when bleeding occurs in and around the brain.Swelling can occur which all can lead to an elevation of the intracranial pressure (ICP).
The treatment of brain injury is focused on limiting secondary injury by reducing ICP. Treatment may include the use of medications such as highly concentrated sodium intravenous fluids, as well as the placement of an external ventricular drain to relieve the build-up of fluid within the brain itself. These procedures are what we perform through our trained medical personnel.
For some patients who must undergo surgery, a craniotomy may be required to remove the accumulation of blood from the surface of the brain and within the brain itself as well as relieve elevated intracranial pressure.
Armed with state-of-the-art neuro-supported theatre and instrument, our neurosurgeons have unparalleled experience in treating simple and complex neurological conditions (including traumatic brain injury).
