Frequently Asked Questions
Dr. Vikas Sharma is a senior neurosurgeon in India who specialises in the surgical treatment of brain and spine disorders. His key areas of expertise include brain tumour surgery, complex spine surgery, and advanced minimally invasive techniques like robotic surgery and neuroendoscopy.
Robotic neurosurgery involves using a robotic system to assist the surgeon in performing procedures with enhanced precision, flexibility, and control. The benefits include smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, a lower risk of infection, and a significantly faster recovery. Dr. Sharma is an expert in this advanced technique.
With his extensive experience, fellowship training in neuroendoscopy, and expertise in complex spinal instrumentation and minimally invasive spine surgery, Dr. Vikas Sharma is widely regarded as one of the top spine surgeons in India.
Neuroendoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where a thin, lighted tube with a camera (endoscope) is used to access and treat areas of the brain or spine through small incisions or natural openings. It is commonly used for pituitary tumours, hydrocephalus, and certain spinal conditions.
Dr. Sharma has vast experience in surgically managing a wide range of brain tumours, including gliomas, meningiomas, vestibular schwannomas (acoustic neuromas), and pituitary adenomas, using both traditional microsurgery and advanced minimally invasive techniques.
Minimally invasive spine surgery uses smaller incisions and specialised instruments to treat spinal conditions. This approach results in less damage to surrounding muscles and tissues, leading to reduced post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, and a quicker return to daily activities compared to open surgery.
