Specialized Brain Surgeries Offered by Dr. Rahul Chhajed
Brain Trauma & Emergency Surgery:
Head injuries require rapid assessment and intervention. Dr. Rahul is experienced in managing acute trauma cases to prevent secondary brain damage.
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Comprehensive ICU and surgical management for severe concussions and brain bruising.
- Hematoma Evacuation: Surgical removal of blood clots (Epidural/Subdural Hematomas) pressing on the brain.
- Decompressive Craniectomy: A life-saving procedure where a portion of the skull is temporarily removed to relieve dangerous swelling (intracranial pressure).
Brain Tumor Management (Neuro-Oncology):
We provide multidisciplinary care for benign and malignant brain growths, utilizing microsurgery to ensure maximal tumor removal.
- Common Tumors Treated: Meningioma, Glioma, Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), and CP Angle Tumors.
- Tumor Resection (Craniotomy): Precise opening of the skull to surgically remove the tumor mass while sparing healthy brain tissue.
Vascular Neurosurgery:
Treatment for abnormalities in the brain's blood vessels that can cause bleeding or strokes.
- Cerebral Aneurysms & AVMs: Repairing weak, bulging vessel walls or abnormal tangles of blood vessels.
- Surgical Clipping: Placing a metal clip at the base of an aneurysm to stop blood flow.
- Endovascular Coiling: A minimally invasive technique filling the aneurysm with coils from the inside to prevent rupture.
Stroke Surgery:
- Mechanical Thrombectomy: A revolutionary procedure for acute ischemic stroke where the blocking clot is physically pulled out of the brain vessel using a catheter, restoring blood flow instantly.
Hydrocephalus Treatment:
Management of excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) buildup in the brain.
- VP Shunt Surgery: Implanting a thin tube to drain excess fluid from the brain to the abdomen.
- Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH): Diagnosis and shunting for elderly patients presenting with gait disturbance and memory issues.

Timely intervention can save lives and function. Contact Dr. Rahul Chhajed now for expert diagnosis and immediate surgical planning.
Minimally Invasive & Endoscopic Brain Surgery:
Advanced "keyhole" techniques that use natural pathways, avoiding large incisions.
- Pituitary Surgery (Transsphenoidal): Removing pituitary tumors through the nose without cutting the skull.
- Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV): Creating a natural bypass for fluid in the brain to treat hydrocephalus without implanting a shunt.
