Dr. Laxminadh Sivaraju, Neurosurgeon
I am Dr. Laxminadh Sivaraju. I did my MBBS at the prestigious Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad, and my neurosurgery training at one of the top medical college hospitals, CMCH (Christian Medical College Hospital, Vellore). After completion of training, I worked at the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Whitefield, Bangalore. I did a fellowship at the University of Griefswald, under the mentorship of Prof. Henry Shroeder in "Minimal Invasive Skull Base Endoscopy." For the last four years, I have been working at Continental Hospital in Hyderabad.
I
do deal with patients with brain and spine related problems. I do surgeries for
brain tumours, spine tumours, disc prolapse, head injuries, spine injuries,
brain strokes, and seizures. We thoroughly evaluate and examine the patient in
detail and do the necessary investigations to reach the diagnosis. I do
thorough and detailed counselling with the patient and relatives prior to any
surgical intervention. I do explain the surgery procedure, the duration of
surgery, how I am going to operate, the time taken to come out of anaesthesia,
post surgery care, and precautions during the recovery period.
Neurological treatments with Dr. Laxminadh Sivaraju
We do use the latest cutting edge technology with high end microscopes, neuro navigation, and CUSA, and we do awake craniotomies and minimally invasive techniques for keyhole surgeries. I do emphasise the early, speedy recovery of patients following surgery and getting back to their occupation.
I
do see more patients with hypertension, anxiety causing brain stroke, otherwise
called haemorrhage within the brain, head injury, and spine injury following
road traffic accidents, falls from heights, or slip and fall. In the elderly
age group, I do come across patients with neck pain, low back ache, sciatica,
spondylosis, and disc related problems, and most of them fall under
degenerative spine problems. IT sector people come with neck pain, back pain,
and small joint pain in the hands. We have to listen, understand their problem,
and give proper guidance and suggestions.
We
do focus on lifestyle changes on the professional or personal front. Most of
the pains we call psychosomatic symptoms are due to an underlining factor at
the personal or family level. They impact brain function, and these patients
tend to be more emotional and sensitive to pain and discomfort. These problems
result in behavioural problems and sleep disorders. We provide proper
counselling for these patients.
Best care for neurological patients
Our
clinic or hospital setup should be able to accommodate patients from different
professions with different work hours. Always prefer to have a prior
appointment to prevent undue waiting hours, particularly for patients with
neuro-related problems who come in wheel chairs or stretchers. We need to make
proper arrangements so that they do not feel any discomfort. We see patients
with less sensorium, we should properly examine them and give proper guidance
to their relatives. Patients with critical illnesses and long standing comorbidities
need special attention and regular follow up.
Supportive treatment for brain tumour
Patients
with brain tumours need to be counselled about the radiation and chemotherapy
treatments that may be necessary, particularly for a few types of cancer, and
the precautions to be taken during these treatments. Patients with head
injuries and spine injuries need long term rehabilitation, supportive care, and
nursing assistance. Relatives need proper guidance and motivation.
Special care for Neurological conditions with Dr. LaxminadhSivaraju
Neurosurgery
is always and most of the time associated with emergencies, with unpredictable
calls that we have to attend immediately, and a few times we need immediate
emergency surgery. During that crucial hour, we have to discuss and explain to
the relatives and patient the nature of the disease, its long term sequel, the
mode of treatment, the objective of treatment, and the best possible outcome.
We have to understand relatives and family members emotions and give them
proper motivation. We see different age groups of patients, from neonates to
the elderly up to the 9th decade. As a neurosurgeon, I operate on
neonates with hydrocephalus and myelomeningocele repair, and at the same time,
I operate on 8th or 9th decade patients with chronic
subdural hematomas, a type of blood clot. In these scenarios, we have to
understand the emotional bonding of patients with family members during
counselling.
As
nervous tissue is highly sensitive, we have to be very careful during surgery
as we are operating on highly critical brain and spinal cord structures, and
any side effects may not be tolerated by the patient. We have to use a high end
microscope or endoscope to visualise these crucial organs during surgery. We
have to use meticulous techniques to handle these sensitive areas.
Neuronavigation and keyhole surgery help with early recovery.
We
have to attend various national and international conferences and get updates
on the latest developments.
Achievements of Dr. Laxminadh Sivaraju
On
my personal front, I attended almost 50 conferences and workshops, presented
more than 10 platform presentations, got the NSI (neurosurgical society of
India) award for best paper presentation, and published 35 plus original papers
and case reports in various journals at international levels. I am on the
editorial board of a few journals and a reviewer for a few.
So
far, we have operated on more than 6,000 surgeries, including both brain and
spine, for various pathologies like congenital, paediatric, trauma, oncology,
spine, and disc related problems, with the best outcomes possible. Being able
to gain trust among patients and fellow colleagues is a memorable achievement.
Consult best neurosurgeon
As
neurosurgeons dealing with a highly sensitive field with the highest morbidity
and mortality, we should be meticulous, up-to-date on the latest advancements,
and quick to implement them for the patients care and better outcomes.
