CRANIOTOMY :- Craniotomy is a surgical operation in which part of the skull, called a bone flap, is removed in order to gain access to the brain. Craniotomies are often a critical operation performed on patients suffering from brain lesions or traumatic brain injury (TBI). A craniotomy is performed under general anesthesia by a neurosurgeon.
LAMINECTOMY :- Laminectomy is surgery to remove the lamina, part of the bone that makes up a vertebra, or bone spurs in your back. The procedure can take pressure off the spinal nerves or spinal canal.DISCECTOMY :- Discectomy is the surgical removal of herniated disc material that presses on a nerve root or the spinal cord. The procedure involves removing the central portion of an intervertebral disc, the nucleus pulposus, which causes pain by stressing the spinal cord or radiating nerves
CARPEL TUNNEL SYNDROME :- Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. Carpal tunnel release is one of the most common surgical procedures in the United States. Generally recommended if symptoms last for 6 months, surgery involves severing the band of tissue around the wrist to reduce pressure on the median nerve. Surgery is done under local anesthesia
