Services - Health Issues Treated by Dr. Sunil Kutty
Dr. Sunil Kutty specializes in a variety of brain and spine conditions. Below is a list of some of the common neurological issues that he treats:
Brain Tumors
Brain tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Dr. Kutty is an expert in finding and removing both types of tumors while making sure to avoid damaging important parts of the brain. He is skilled in performing surgeries like craniotomy and uses advanced methods, such as stereotactic surgery, to treat these tumors.
Spinal Disorders
Spinal problems are a common reason people need neurosurgery. Conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis are often seen in patients. Dr. Kutty performs surgeries such as discectomy, laminectomy, and spinal fusion, using less invasive techniques to help patients recover more quickly.
Cerebrovascular Diseases
Cerebrovascular conditions like brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and strokes need quick and expert care. Dr. Kutty uses advanced imaging tools and delicate surgical methods to treat these serious conditions.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Dr. Kutty specializes in treating spinal cord injuries caused by accidents or falls. He uses advanced surgeries to reduce pressure on the spine and help improve movement and function.
Epilepsy Surgery
For patients with epilepsy who don’t get better with medication, Dr. Kutty suggests epilepsy surgery. This surgery involves removing the part of the brain that causes the seizures, which can greatly improve the patient’s quality of life.
Neck and Back Pain
Chronic neck and back pain caused by conditions like slipped discs, degenerative disc disease, or spinal arthritis can be debilitating. Dr. Kutty offers both surgical and non-surgical treatments to alleviate pain and improve mobility.
