NEUROSURGERY
With more than twenty-five years of experience treating patients, Dr Sunit Mediratta is well-regarded as one of the best neurosurgeons in Delhi-NCR. He specialises in treating brain and spinal tumours, head injuries and strokes. In addition, he continues to serve as the official trackside neurosurgeon for the F1 racing team in India. His scope of work includes spinal and cerebral tumour embolisation, carotid-cavernous fistula treatment, brain dural arteriovenous fistula embolisation, laminectomy and peripheral neurosurgery, foot drop, brain aneurysm coiling, treatment of nerve and muscle disorders, pediatric neurosurgery, vagus nerve stimulation (epilepsy), aneurysm surgery, spinal tumour, lumbar spine fixation, brain tumour treatment, cervical herniated disc treatment, and pituitary surgery.
Neurosurgeons like Dr Sunit manage conditions affecting the structure and function of the brain and spinal cord. The skull and the spinal column protect these sensitive and vital organs. However, they could be affected by genetic defects, injury, clots in the blood vessels leading to tissue damage, infections in the cerebrospinal fluid or cancerous growths in the surrounding areas.
Brain surgeons routinely perform burr hole surgery, craniotomies, spinal and cerebral tumour embolisation, laminectomy, vagus nerve stimulation for epilepsy, lumbar spine fixation and surgeries of the pituitary gland.
Dr Sunit is exceptionally patient and calm towards his patients. He is known for his friendly bedside manner that puts patients and relatives at ease. “Patients are, of course, very nervous before brain surgery. So aside from our clinical skills, we should try to help them relax so they can face their surgery and recovery with our support when they are most vulnerable,” says Dr Mediratta.
With his keen sense of patient-centric care and dedication to the patients under his supervision, it is not surprising that Dr Sunit is regarded as one of the best neurosurgeons in South Delhi.
