🧠 VP Shunt Surgery – A Lifesaving Neurosurgical Procedure
📍 By Dr. Waqas Mehdi | Consultant Neurosurgeon
Hydrocephalus – the abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain – can lead to life-threatening pressure on the brain if left untreated.

Routinely we are successfully performing a VP Shunt operation to relieve Brain pressure and restore normal CSF flow. This small but critical device diverts excess fluid from the brain to the abdomen, where it is safely absorbed by the body.

✅ Conditions treated:

Macrocephaly
Congenital hydrocephalus
Developmental delays (in children)
Obstructed hydrocephalus
Post tumor hydrocephalus
Normal pressure hydrocephalus

🔬 Modern neurosurgical techniques and meticulous planning are vital to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.
💬 If you or your loved one has been advised a shunt procedure or has symptoms suggestive of hydrocephalus, consult a qualified neurosurgeon in time.

🧠 Understanding High-Grade Gliomas – A Battle We Must Fight Together

As a Neuro-Oncological Surgeon, I confront the reality of high-grade gliomas every day—aggressive brain tumors that challenge the lives of patients and their families. These tumors demand swift diagnosis, advanced surgical strategies, and multidisciplinary care to offer patients the best chance at meaningful survival and quality of life.

🎯 Early symptoms—such as persistent headaches, seizures, or cognitive changes—should never be ignored.
🧬 Advanced imaging, timely biopsy, maximal safe resection, and coordination with neuro-oncology, radiation, and genetic profiling have become essential in shaping individualized treatment plans.

While these tumors are formidable, hope is real—with new research in immunotherapy, molecular targeting, and AI-guided precision surgery, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

To every patient and family facing this journey:
👉 You are not alone.
👉 Together, we fight—with science, skill, and heart.

"Lumbar stenosis" is a condition that affects the spine, commonly in people over 50. It occurs when the spaces within the lower back narrow, putting pressure on the nerves.

Symptoms:
✅ Persistent lower back pain
✅ Leg numbness or tingling
✅ Difficulty walking or standing for extended periods
✅ Weakness in the legs

Treatment Options:
🔹 Non-Surgical: Physiotherapy, pain management, and lifestyle adjustments.
🔹 Surgical: Advanced techniques, including minimally invasive and endoscopic spine surgery, for severe cases to relieve nerve compression and improve mobility.

As a neurosurgeon, I emphasize early diagnosis and customized treatment plans to ensure the best outcomes for my patients. If you or a loved one is experiencing these symptoms, don't delay seeking medical advice.
