At Rainbow Children’s Hospital, we ensure exhaustive evaluation, accurate diagnosis and world-class surgical and post-surgical care for disorders affecting the skull, brain, spine, spinal cord, and nerves (both spinal and peripheral). Our specialists treat all types of conditions, including pediatric brain and spine tumors, head injuries & trauma, hydrocephalus, arterio-venous malformations (AVMs), and epilepsy, using both minimally invasive and endoscopic techniques. They are also well-equipped to perform emergency procedures round-the-clock and traditional open surgery in case of complex brain and spinal conditions. Supported by state-of-the-art facilities, including modular operating theaters, advanced image guidance system and cutting-edge tools such as Neuro Endoscopy, Neuronavigation, and Neuromonitoring, etc., the dedicated team is committed to providing the best possible neurosurgical care that's at par with international standards.
Our state-of-the-art Pediatric Neurosurgery Department deals with diagnosis, treatment and management of a wide spectrum of neurosurgical conditions in newborns, infants, children and adolescents. Our hospital is well equipped with specialized facilities to treat various disorders - right from neurodegenerative conditions and epilepsy to pediatric strokes. Some of the pediatric conditions and disorders treated at Rainbow Children’s Hospital includes:
Brachial Plexus Nerve Surgery: The brachial plexus is a bundle of nerves that originates in the neck region of the spinal cord and creates a network that connects to the nerves in the shoulder, arm and hand. It controls function and sensation in the wrist, arms, and hands. Injuries to this network can result in partial or complete loss of function and feeling, leading to significant disability and numbness in the arm and hand.

Cerebrovascular Surgery: Cerebrovascular surgery in children is a specialized surgery performed to evaluate and treat all forms of vascular conditions that affect blood vessels supplying blood to the brain and spinal cord. These conditions can be life-threatening or severely disabling if not timely treated. The treatment helps in addressing problems related to restrictive blood flow and ruptured blood vessels and clots. It helps to treat vascular conditions of the brain or spine, including aneurysms, hemorrhages, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), carotid artery stenosis, strokes and vascular brain tumors.

Epilepsy Surgery: Epilepsy surgery is a treatment option for drug-resistant epilepsy, which occurs when anti-seizure medicines fail to control seizures even after taking the appropriate doses. The goal of surgery is to either remove the area of the brain where seizures occur or interrupt the seizure pathways. This helps to reduce or completely eliminate seizure frequency or their severity. It's not the first line of treatment and is usually recommended when the source of the seizures that has been identified can be safely treated without interfering with important brain functions such as speech or movement. Not every epilepsy patient needs surgery; thus, a careful evaluation which includes a series of tests is required.

Hydrocephalus: Hydrocephalus is a condition caused by the excessive buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the skull. This increases the pressure inside the brain. CSF’s primary function is to cushion and protect the brain, but when an excess of it is accumulated, it can damage brain tissue and cause developmental, physical, and cognitive disorders.

Minimally Invasive and Endoscopic Neurosurgery: Minimally invasive and endoscopic neurosurgery techniques are designed to treat complex neurological conditions through smaller incisions, less disruption to surrounding tissues, and with the help of advanced lighted tubes called endoscopes. Endoscopes serve as small microscopes, magnifying critical anatomical structures so the surgeon can easily see the various diseased areas requiring repair, removal, or replacement.

Scoliosis and Deformity Correction: Scoliosis is a medical condition characterized by an abnormal curving of the spine, which can appear in the thoracic, lumbar, or both regions. Most cases of scoliosis of the lumbar spine are mild, but some curves worsen as a child grows. Severe scoliosis can be disabling, to an extent. In extreme cases, the spinal curve can reduce the amount of space within the chest, thereby making it difficult for the lungs to function properly.

Spasticity and Dystonia Surgery: Spasticity and dystonia are similar, in the sense the two neurological conditions resemble each other and are manifestations of neurological dysfunction but they are distinctly different.
