BLK Super Speciality Hospital
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.
