DBS at BLK is provided by a neurosurgery team of the Functional Neurosurgery Unit - one of the largest in the country. BLK specialists prescribe DBS for people with severe neurological disorders and only after full exam with EEG, MRI, ECG. The Deep Brain Stimulation surgery lasts between 5-7 hours. A patient is under local anesthesia and remains awake. During this procedure a doctor implants electrodes into the brain of a patient. The electrodes need to stimulate the parts of the brain and eliminate or remove the symptoms of the disease. If the electrodes work correctly, doctors change temporary neurostimulator into a constant one.
The Apollo is the first hospital in India where DBS was provided. The Department of the Neurosurgery is one of the most experienced in the country. Neurosurgeries have been performed here since 1960.
After a complete examination, doctors decide whether a patient requires the DBS operation.
DBS is the most efficient treatment for Parkinson’s patients in case medicines are not effective. The procedure is conducted in two steps. The first step includes insertion of electrodes into the brain and temporary neurostimulator into the patient’s chest/abdomen. The second step of the DBS procedure is setting-up the device for correct impulses transmission and changing it into the constant one.
