What is Brain Stroke Surgery?
Brain stroke surgery refers to a range of surgical interventions used to treat ischemic (blocked blood flow) or hemorrhagic (bleeding) strokes. The main goal is to restore or maintain blood flow to the brain, prevent further damage, and improve survival and long-term neurological function.
Common procedures include:
- Thrombectomy – surgical removal of blood clots in ischemic stroke
- Craniotomy – opening the skull to relieve pressure or remove a clot/bleed
- Coil embolization – sealing off aneurysms to stop or prevent bleeding
- Carotid endarterectomy – removing plaque from narrowed carotid arteries
- Cerebral bypass – rerouting blood flow around a blocked vessel
In emergency cases, timely intervention—often within the first few hours (golden window)—is critical to reduce long-term brain damage and disability. Post-surgery, patients may require intensive rehabilitation for optimal recovery of motor and cognitive functions.
Why Choose India for Brain Stroke Surgery?
India is a preferred destination for advanced stroke surgery due to:
- Highly skilled neurosurgeons and stroke specialists trained internationally
- Use of modern surgical techniques, including robotic-assisted and minimally invasive approaches
- Comprehensive stroke centers with integrated neurology, neurosurgery, ICU, and rehabilitation support
- Access to advanced neuroimaging and intraoperative monitoring
Delhi-NCR hospitals are equipped to handle critical neurological emergencies with 24×7 stroke teams, fast-track diagnostics, and international patient services. The cost of care in India is significantly lower than in countries like the US, UK, or Germany—making it an attractive option without compromising on clinical quality.
