Emergency Neurosurgery for Accident and Trauma in Tirupati
Severe accidents can cause traumatic brain injuries, skull fractures, intracranial bleeding and spinal injuries that may require urgent neurosurgical assessment.
At Tirupati Trauma Care Centre & Hospital, patients with suspected neurological trauma are assessed according to the severity and location of the injury.
Emergency neurosurgical treatment may be required for selected conditions such as intracranial bleeding, significant brain swelling, skull injuries or spinal cord compression.
The neurosurgical team works alongside trauma surgery, orthopaedics, anaesthesiology and critical care when patients have multiple injuries.
