Neurosurgery in Thrissur: Advanced Brain and Spine Surgery at Atreya Hospital
MCh-qualified neurosurgeons use the Carl Zeiss Kinevo 900 microscope with intraoperative neuromonitoring.
The Department of Neurosurgery at Atreya Hospital provides planned and emergency surgical care for brain, spine, and peripheral nerve conditions in adults and children. All procedures use the Carl Zeiss Kinevo 900 microscope with neuronavigation and intraoperative monitoring. The team works alongside Neurology, Spine Surgery, and Critical Care for coordinated management from diagnosis through recovery.
About the Department
Neurosurgery at Atreya is closely linked with the Brain Tumor Clinic and Neuro Rehabilitation programme. Diagnosis begins with a detailed neurological exam supported by CT, MRI, and angiography as needed. For emergency arrivals, the surgical team mobilizes at any hour. Post-operative care continues in the Neuro ICU with round-the-clock intensivist cover.
Conditions We Treat
Brain and Skull Base
Brain tumors (gliomas, meningiomas, metastatic lesions), pituitary tumors treated through endonasal transsphenoidal approaches, acoustic schwannomas, and hydrocephalus, including intraventricular lesions.
Cerebrovascular Disorders
Intracranial aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and hemorrhagic stroke requiring surgical decompression.
Spine
Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar disc disease; craniovertebral junction disorders; spinal tumors (intradural and extradural); spinal trauma with fractures or cord compression; and spondylolisthesis.
Peripheral Nerve
Brachial plexus injuries, nerve compression syndromes, and peripheral nerve tumors.
Pediatric Neurosurgery
Pediatric brain tumors, head trauma, and congenital spinal deformities.
Functional and Pain
Trigeminal neuralgia and facial pain syndromes, with rehabilitation support for patients recovering from spine or nerve injury.
Treatments and Procedures
Treatment planning starts with an accurate diagnosis. Once surgery is agreed, the team explains the procedure, expected recovery, and alternatives considered.
Cranial and Brain Surgery
Craniotomy for tumor excision with Yellow 560 fluorescence staining for gliomas, awake craniotomy for lesions near functional brain regions, endoscopic surgery for pituitary and intraventricular tumors, aneurysm clipping and AVM excision with ICG angiography, and neurotrauma surgery including intracranial hemorrhage evacuation.
Spine Surgery
Anterior cervical microdiscectomy and fusion, cervical disc replacement, posterior cervical foraminotomy, craniocervical junction stabilization, microscopic and endoscopic lumbar discectomy, PLIF and TLIF for spondylolisthesis, vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, and microscopic spinal tumor excision.
Peripheral Nerve and Pain
Brachial plexus exploration and repair, peripheral nerve tumor excision, minimally invasive surgery for trigeminal neuralgia, and transforaminal nerve blocks.
Our Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation team contributes whenever conservative treatment is a realistic option.
Advanced Technology and Facilities
Carl Zeiss Kinevo 900 Robotic Microscope
The neurosurgery theatre is built around this microscope, integrated with neuronavigation. Two visualization aids extend what the surgeon sees: Yellow 560 fluorescence staining for high-grade gliomas and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography for aneurysm and AVM surgery.
Intraoperative Neuromonitoring and Navigation
IONM is used routinely for brain and spine procedures where a nerve or the spinal cord is at risk. Navigation-guided surgery is applied in selected cases where anatomical landmarks are unreliable, or the target is deep.
Neuro ICU
Dedicated Neuro ICU with round-the-clock intensivist coverage for all major neurosurgical cases.
Why Choose Atreya Hospital for Neurosurgery
Trained surgeons, real volume
Dr. Menon’s fellowship training spans three countries, with over 3,000 major neurosurgical procedures. That case volume shortens operative time and keeps complication rates predictable.
Verified intraoperative tools
Yellow 560 fluorescence, ICG angiography, IONM on every high-risk case, and navigation where anatomy is deep or distorted. Not marketing lines; they are the workflow.
One team, ER to rehab
24-hour emergency, five operation theatres, Neuro ICU, and rehabilitation on one campus. In stroke and neurotrauma, the interval between arrival and surgery decides outcomes.
Accredited and recognized
Dual NABH accreditation (Red and Green), first hospital in Kerala with IGBC Platinum Certification, and Best Neurology Hospital (Under 100 Beds) at the Dhanam Healthcare Award 2026.
