My father needs DBS surgery and I'm looking for the best hospitals and doctors who can do it at an affordable cost. Can you suggest some good options? Also, do you know how much the surgery costs at AIIMS Delhi?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
All major Hospitals doing regular DBS surgeries are good. Cost will be more or less same in all hospitals as the major cost involved will be the device and battery cost. You will have to contact the doctor in the specific hospital to know the exact cost. On an average of would cost around 8 lakhs to 20 lakhs depending on the hospital.

View allMy grandfather is 83 and had a fall in the bathroom that caused a blood clot in his brain. The doctors are recommending surgery, but I'm worried can surgery really fix this at his age? Is it safe for him to go through the procedure? Would really appreciate your advice.
Sorry to hear about situation. Age is not the only factor, surgery and outcome depends on his general health, state of his heart function. Please discuss with physician and neurosurgeon.

I've been diagnosed with a C5-C6 cervical herniation. Can this be cured without surgery or is cervical discectomy and fusion the only option? How major or minor is this surgery? If my symptoms are improving with medications, is surgery still necessary? What are the possible complications of the procedure?

I'm 26 and I recently had an MRI done that shows I've got diffuse annular bulging at L5S1. It mentions minimal compression of the thecal sac. I'm really concerned and a bit confused about what this all means for me. What should I be doing next? Is this something I need to worry a lot about?
The diffuse annular bulging at L5S1 causing minimal thecal sac compression can be managed conservatively initially. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen for pain management. Additionally, physical therapy and exercises focusing on strengthening the core muscles can help alleviate symptoms. In some cases, muscle relaxants like Cyclobenzaprine may be prescribed to help with muscle spasms. If the pain persists, your doctor may consider prescribing stronger medications like Tramadol. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
