NEURO-TECH BREAKTHROUGHS FOR ENHANCED BRAIN SURGERY
Healthcare Radius
|September 2024
Advanced neuro-technology ensures safe and precise brain surgeries revolutionizing treatment and improving patient outcomes.
The brain is the most complex organ in the body; god's greatest gift to earthly beings.
A newborn's brain weighs about 350-400 grams, roughly 10 percent of their body weight. In adults, it weighs about 1400 grams. As people age, starting from around 40 years old, the brain's volume and weight decrease by approximately five percent every ten years.
The intricacies within can be imagined by the figures given below. Each area in the brain is function-specific with some overlap. This means that it produces measurable and predictable problems when a part of the brain is damaged. The brain cells don't regenerate once damaged, but they may get rewired to some extent, resulting in the return of a part of the function - this is known as 'neural plasticity'.
CHALLENGES IN NEUROSURGERYThe electrical signals created in the brain network are produced by chemical reactions occurring at innumerable junctions, called Synapses, and they govern all bodily functions. When a tumor grows within the brain, it destroys and/or displaces this intricate network and its functions.

WHY SURGEONS ARE TURNING TO ROBOTIC-ASSISTED JOINT REPLACEMENT
India is witnessing a growing burden of joint-related disorders, particularly osteoarthritis, which is emerging as a leading cause of disability among adults. An estimated 50 million Indians are affected by the condition, with knee osteoarthritis being a major contributor. With an ageing population, rising obesity, increased life expectancy, and sedentary lifestyles, the need for advanced orthopedic interventions continues to rise. As awareness and aspirations for better quality of life grow, patients are increasingly seeking joint replacement solutions that offer durability, reduced pain, and faster recovery.
