The Department of Neurosurgery started just after the hospital’s inception in 1990. The Department commenced its operation with general neurosurgical procedures, primarily focusing on managing head-injured and stroke patients. With the addition of an Operating microscope and micro-neurosurgical instruments, surgery for brain and spinal cord tumours and spinal surgeries, including micro-discectomies, corpectomies and instrumented fusions, were added and are now part of regular procedures performed. The operating microscope was upgraded to a state-of-art one during the latter part of the last decade.
