Answers to Common Patient Queries About Brain, Spine & Trauma Care in Mumbai
Modern spine surgery, especially Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS), is highly safe. Dr. Rahul Chhajed uses advanced navigation technology to minimize risks and ensure precision.
MISS is a technique that uses small incisions (keyhole) instead of large cuts. This results in less muscle damage, minimal blood loss, less pain, and a much faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Yes, depending on the tumor type and location. We offer endoscopic treatments (through the nose) for pituitary tumors and use advanced radiosurgery options where applicable. Dr. Rahul will recommend the least invasive, effective option.
With minimally invasive techniques, many patients walk on the same day or the next day. Complete return to desk work is often possible within 2-3 weeks, though heavy lifting should be avoided for a few months.

Absolutely. Over 80% of back pain and sciatica cases are resolved with medication, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes. Surgery is only recommended when conservative treatments fail or if there is nerve damage.
Success depends on the tumor type and location. However, with Dr. Rahul’s expertise in microsurgery and neuro-monitoring, we achieve excellent tumor resection rates while preserving critical brain functions.
Yes, we provide emergency care for stroke patients. Timely intervention, such as Mechanical Thrombectomy or clot removal, can significantly reverse paralysis if the patient reaches the hospital within the “golden hour.”
DBS is a functional neurosurgery used for Parkinson’s disease and tremors. It involves placing electrodes in the brain to regulate abnormal impulses, significantly improving movement and quality of life.
