The Department of Adult and Pediatric Neurosurgery, Neurology at the Primus Super Speciality Hospital New Delhi offers the comprehensive diagnostics, conservative and surgical treatment of diseases of the nervous system. The tasks of the department's doctors also include rehabilitation of patients with neurological pathologies. Thanks to the modern infrastructure and the progressive equipment of the department, most operations can be performed using sparing minimally invasive techniques. In addition, the surgical treatment involves the use of neuromonitoring systems, which increases the safety of interventions in functionally important areas of the brain. The Chief Physician of the department is Dr. med. Krishna Choudhary.
The department has the necessary ultramodern equipment for the most accurate diagnostics. It carries out such examinations as electroencephalography, electromyography, EEG monitoring in epilepsy, magnetic resonance imaging, spiral computed tomography/3D CT, etc.
To treat chronic pathologies, such as Parkinson's disease, headaches, brain tumors, the team of the department’s doctors uses advanced methods and innovative procedures. The specialists have excellent experience in minimally invasive skull base surgery. In this case, operations are performed through small incisions about 0.5-1 cm as opposed to long incisions in conventional surgery.
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases. The highly specialized team of doctors assesses the patient's health and identifies the cause of the attack using complex diagnostic methods. To control the frequency and severity of epileptic seizures, the specialists develop an individual treatment plan.

To examine young patients, the department has MRI and CT for the whole body scanning and obtaining high-resolution images of the brain. The department's experts mostly treat hydrocephalus, brain tumors, meningocele/encephalocele, congenital malformations of the nervous system and spinal dysraphia.
Both adults and young patients require the effective rehabilitation after treatment.
