Neurosurgery in India — What Lusaka Patients Need to Know
Neurosurgery — brain tumour surgery, spine surgery, Gamma Knife radiosurgery, and epilepsy surgery — is rarely available in Zambia. Patients from Lusaka who need neurosurgical intervention are typically told to travel abroad, and South Africa or Europe become impossibly expensive. India's neurosurgery centres perform thousands of complex brain and spine procedures each year, using the latest technology (including CyberKnife and Gamma Knife) at 60–65% lower cost than South Africa.
Procedures Available
- Brain tumour surgery — open craniotomy and minimally invasive
- Gamma Knife and CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery
- Spine surgery — disc herniation, stenosis, scoliosis, MISS
- Epilepsy surgery (resective and responsive neurostimulation)
- Hydrocephalus shunt surgery
- Vascular neurosurgery (AVM, aneurysm)
