    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    What is "Endoscopic Spine Surgery," and do you perform it?
    • Yes. Endoscopic Spine Surgery is a minimally invasive technique where Dr. Rajashekhar uses a tiny camera and specialized instruments to remove herniated discs through a small incision (less than 1 cm). This results in less pain, minimal blood loss, and a much faster return to normal life compared to traditional open surgery.
    • Not always. Spinal stabilisation (using pedicle screws or plates) is only recommended if the spine is unstable due to fracture, slip disc, or infection. Dr. Rajashekhar will evaluate your MRI and X-rays to determine if simple decompression (laminectomy) is enough or if fixation is truly necessary.
    • Yes. Dr. Rajashekhar manages both Ischemic Stroke (clots) and Hemorrhagic Stroke (bleeds). For brain bleeds, he performs life-saving surgeries to remove the clot and relieve pressure on the brain. Time is critical, so bring the patient to Vivekananda Hospital immediately.
    • Brain tumor surgery has become much safer with modern technology. Dr. Rajashekhar uses advanced microscopic techniques to remove tumors while preserving healthy brain tissue. He treats both benign tumors (like Meningiomas) and malignant ones, creating a personalized plan for every patient.
    • ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion) is a surgery for neck pain caused by a pinched nerve. Dr. Rajashekhar removes the damaged disc from the front of the neck and fuses the bones together using a plate. It is a highly successful procedure for relieving arm pain and numbness.
    • Yes. Vivekananda Hospital in Punjagutta is equipped for 24/7 Neuro-Trauma care. Dr. Rajashekhar routinely performs emergency surgeries for skull fractures and brain clots (EDH/SDH) resulting from road accidents or falls.
    • Spinal Tuberculosis (TB) often needs medication, but surgery is required if there is pus pressing on the spinal cord or if the spine is collapsing. Dr. Rajashekhar performs "debridement and fixation" to clear the infection and stabilize the spine, preventing paralysis.
    • Recovery depends on the procedure. For Microscopic or Endoscopic surgeries, patients often walk the same day and go home the next day. For major fixation surgeries, hospital stay may be 3–5 days, with a return to light activities in 3–4 weeks.
    • You should consult Dr. Rajashekhar if you experience: Severe, sudden headache (worst of your life). Weakness or numbness in one side of the body. Persistent back or neck pain radiating to arms or legs. Seizures (fits) or sudden loss of consciousness. Difficulty walking or loss of balance.
