Dr Rohit Pandey is highly experienced in Functional Neurosurgery. He has vast experience in performing Deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson's disease/Dystonia and essential tremors. He has treated numerous patients from India and abroad with DBS ,improving their quality of life tremendously. He has vast experience in other procedures like RF ablation of trigeminal neuralgia/Baclofen pump insertion/Spinal cord stimulation. Essential tremors/Parkinson's disease can also be treated with laser ablation of deep brain nuceli.
Spine problems like slip disc/lumbar canal stenosis/Spondylolisthesis are completely curable with state of art techniques. Dr Rohit Pandey specialises in endoscopic spine surgery/Endo fusion surgery/ Minimally invasive spine surgery/ Endoscopic spine tumor excision. With latest advancement in endoscopy outcome of spine surgery has greatly improved with less pain/no bleeding and reduced hospital stay.
CVJ anomaly are mostly congenital while some of them can be acquired after infection/tumor or trauma. These patients present with neck pain/numbness of hand and legs/ weakness of limbs/breathing difficulty/Short neck etc. Dr Rohit Pandey has vast experience in treating such patients with complex neck deformities. Various surgical procedures needed to treat them include Posterior C1-C2 fixation/ Trans-articular C1-C2 fixation/ Occipito-cervical fixation etc.
Spinal deformity can be be a devastating problem for patient living with it. These patients have abnormal spine curvature giving them poor cosmetic appearance and social stigma. Spinal deformity can be congenital /idiopathic/ degenerative. Dr Rohit Pandey is trained in spinal deformity surgery from prestigious international AO spine society. He routinely performs deformity correction surgery for these patients giving them new hope and happiness.
There are many brain pathologies which can be treated endoscopically ,like Hydrocephalus (abnormal accumulation of water in brain),intraventricular tumors, Pituitary tumors/ Microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia etc. Dr Rohit Pandey is highly experienced in Endoscopic surgery for brain hematoma evacuation having treated thousands of patients till date with excellent outcome.
India has high incidence of patient suffering from traumatic brain injury annually ranging from 1.5- 2 millions.Young individuals are most commonly affected.
