Neurosurgery

Advanced Brain, Spine & Nerve Treatment in Kuala Lumpur

Neurosurgery, commonly referred to as brain surgery, is a specialised medical field focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, spine, and peripheral nerves.

While neurosurgeons and neurologists work closely together, you should consider seeing a neurosurgeon if you experience symptoms such as:

• Chronic or severe pain
• Head pain or trauma
• Neck, back, or leg pain
• Pinched or compressed nerves
• Seizures or unexplained neurological episodes

Neurosurgeon-Specific Conditions

Our neurosurgeons manage a wide spectrum of conditions affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems. These include brain, spine, nerves, trauma, vascular, congenital, tumour-related, and surgical pain conditions.

Brain & Cranial Conditions Requiring Surgery

• Brain tumours (benign & malignant)
• Meningiomas, gliomas, acoustic neuroma
• Aneurysms
• Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)
• Cavernous malformations
• Hydrocephalus
• Chiari malformation
• Craniosynostosis (children)
• Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH)
• Subdural haematoma (acute & chronic)
• Epidural haematoma (EDH)
• Skull fractures requiring surgical repair
• Brain abscess (when surgical drainage is needed)

Spine & Spinal Cord Surgical Conditions

• Herniated disc
• Degenerative disc disease (when surgery is indicated)
• Spinal stenosis
• Spinal instability / spondylolisthesis
• Spinal cord tumours
• Vertebrae fractures
• Spinal cord compression
• Spinal infections requiring surgical drainage or stabilisation
• Spinal deformities (e.g., kyphosis, scoliosis requiring surgery)

Neurovascular Conditions (Surgical Intervention)

• Stroke requiring thrombectomy
• Aneurysm clipping or coiling
• AVM resection
• Vascular malformations needing microsurgery

Peripheral Nerve Surgical Conditions

• Carpal tunnel syndrome (severe cases requiring release)
• Ulnar nerve compression
• Peripheral nerve tumours
• Nerve injuries requiring surgical repair

Neurotrauma

• Traumatic brain injury requiring surgical decompression
• Penetrating head injury
• Spinal trauma requiring stabilisation or decompression
• Coma from traumatic causes requiring neurosurgical care

Neurosurgical Procedures

Our neurosurgeons perform a wide range of procedures from traditional open surgeries to advanced minimally invasive and non-invasive techniques. Below is an overview of key neurosurgical treatments available at Prince Court Medical Centre:

Aneurysm Clipping or Coiling 

A common brain stroke surgery procedure involving placing a metal clip or tiny coils to prevent aneurysm rupture by closing off weak or bulging blood vessels.

Brain Tumour Surgery

A specialised procedure performed by neurosurgeons to remove brain tumours using techniques such as open craniotomy, endoscopic approaches, or stereotactic-guided procedures.

Craniotomy

A surgical technique where a portion of the skull is opened to remove tumours, treat aneurysms, repair blood vessels, or relieve pressure.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

A functional neurosurgical treatment for Parkinson’s disease, tremors, dystonia, and other movement disorders.

Hemispherectomy

A rare but life-saving procedure for severe, medication-resistant epilepsy.

Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery 

Used for herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spinal instability, and spinal cord compression with smaller incisions and faster recovery.

Neuro-Endoscopy

A minimally invasive procedure using a small endoscope to treat tumours, cysts, and other conditions within the brain and spinal cord.

Shunt Surgery

Treatment for hydrocephalus, where a shunt is placed to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and reduce pressure in the brain.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery (Gamma Knife)

A highly precise, non-invasive treatment that uses focused radiation beams to treat brain and spine conditions while sparing healthy tissue.

Thrombectomy

A key stroke intervention where a blood clot is removed from a blocked brain vessel to restore blood flow.
