Neurological conditions are one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, with the global burden of illness and disability rising substantially over the last few decades. In India, they account for about 10% of the total disease burden.
Gurugram-based Medanta –The Medicity, named Best Private Hospital in India by Newsweek for six years in a row, is an internationally known destination for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) therapy, also known as ‘Brain-Pacemaker surgery’ offering new hope to patients living with neurologically driven disabilities. This neurostimulation procedure, offered by Dr. Anirban Deep Banerjee, Director, Neurosurgery, Institute of Neurosciences at Medanta Gurugram, is known to bring relief to advanced-stage Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, refractory epilepsy (adult onset), essential tremor, and advanced obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
This comprehensive treatment combines cutting-edge technology with personalised care. Medanta, one of the largest private multi-specialty tertiary and quaternary care providers in the country, employs advanced imaging techniques for precise brain targeting and utilizes state-of-the-art innovations, such as directional leads for multi-dimensional neuromodulation and real-time brain-sensing biomarker feedback for symptom-responsive stimulation.
Dr. Anirban Deep Banerjee, Director, Neurosurgery, Institute of Neurosciences at Medanta Gurugram said, “While we have recognised effective, advanced treatments like DBS surgery to help transform lives, access remains a significant challenge especially in the low- and middle-income countries. At Medanta, we are committed to improving access to state-of-the-art interventions like DBS and helping patients regain quality of life when medicines and other conventional treatments can no longer manage symptoms. DBS or Brain Pacemaker Surgery is a transformative therapy wherein electrodes are implanted in specific affected areas of the brain to regulate abnormal signals, restoring motor function, and greatly enhancing quality of life.”
Dr. Banerjee has performed well over 300 DBS procedures over the past decade-and-a-half with remarkable success rates, reinforcing his reputation as one of the most trusted neurosurgeons for DBS surgery in this part of the world. At Medanta, DBS also includes patient/condition-specific advanced AI-guided brain area targeting and remote programming capabilities.
