Surgical
Surgical care for head injury, spine disease and brain conditions.
Neurosurgery at SIMS covers traumatic brain injury, spinal disease and selected brain conditions, working alongside emergency medicine, neurology and critical care on a single campus so that a head-injury patient can move from ambulance to CT to operation theatre without transfer delay.
Road traffic accidents remain the leading reason for emergency neurosurgical admission in this district. Rapid CT imaging, intracranial pressure control and timely surgical decompression when indicated are the pillars of care for these patients.
Elective work focuses on spine: disc prolapse, lumbar canal stenosis and cervical spondylosis with nerve compression. Surgery is offered only after conservative treatment, physiotherapy and clear imaging correlation — not on the basis of a scan alone.
The presentations seen most often in this department. If your symptom is not listed, book a consultation anyway — the clinic will redirect you if another speciality fits better.
Equipment matters only when it is available at the moment of need. These services sit on the same campus, with laboratory and imaging cover round the clock.
Do not wait for an outpatient appointment if any of the following applies. Call 9281862028 or come straight to the emergency department, which is open 24 hours and does not require an appointment.
The right neurosurgeon is the one whose experience matches your problem. At SIMS Hospital, Anantapur, neurosurgery care is provided by Dr. Bhaskar Babu (Consultant Neurosurgeon). Book with a consultant by name, or describe your symptoms and the appointment desk will match you to the right specialist.
No. The large majority of disc prolapses settle with rest, medication and structured physiotherapy over six to twelve weeks. Surgery is considered when there is progressive weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or disabling pain that has not responded to adequate conservative treatment.
Return immediately for repeated vomiting, worsening headache, drowsiness, confusion, a seizure, weakness in a limb, or clear fluid or blood from the nose or ear.
