What happens after surgery?
After electrode implantation, the device is programmed over several sessions to achieve optimal symptom control. Regular follow-ups and adjustments ensure long-term success.
Is the procedure safe?
DBS is considered safe when performed by experienced neurosurgical teams. Like any surgery, it carries some risks, which are minimized with proper planning and monitoring.
Who is eligible for DBS surgery?
Patients with advanced Parkinson’s, essential tremor, or dystonia not responding well to medications may be suitable candidates after thorough evaluation.
Is DBS a cure for Parkinson’s or tremors?
DBS is not a cure, but it significantly reduces symptoms and medication dependence, improving quality of life.
What is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)?
DBS is a neurosurgical procedure where electrodes are implanted into specific areas of the brain to regulate abnormal signals, commonly used for movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease.
Who is eligible for 3V VAJRA spine surgery?
Patients suffering from spinal instability, vertebral compression fractures, degenerative spine conditions, or chronic back pain may be eligible. A detailed evaluation by a spine specialist is required.
What is 3V VAJRA spine surgery?
3V VAJRA is an advanced minimally invasive spine stabilisation procedure that uses a precision-engineered titanium implant to restore spinal height and stability with minimal tissue damage.
Can Both Breasts Be Made Symmetrical?
Yes, making both breasts look as similar as possible is an important goal in oncoplastic surgery. Surgeons often plan procedures for both the affected and healthy breast, such as a lift, reduction, or augmentation, to create a natural and balanced appearance.
Will Radiation Affect Cosmetic Results?
While radiation therapy can cause mild changes, advanced planning minimizes the impact. Radiation can sometimes lead to mild changes in breast shape, firmness, or size due to tissue tightening (fibrosis).3 However, modern oncoplastic surgery is specifically designed to counteract these effects. Advanced surgical planning involves anticipating the potential effects of radiation and using techniques (like tissue rearrangement and volume displacement) to ensure the reconstructed breast is better positioned to handle post-radiation changes, thereby preserving the long-term cosmetic result.
How Long is the Recovery Time post surgery?
Most patients recover in stages and can get back to light activities fairly soon. Initial Recovery (2–3 weeks): Most patients are able to resume light, non-strenuous daily activities like walking, driving, and desk work within this timeframe.
Full recovery usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks, including the time needed to return to exercise and heavier activities. Your surgeon will give you a recovery plan that fits your specific surgery.
