Dr. Biji had Clinical fellowship in spine surgery from Brigham and Women’s hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston USA. Spine procedures performed with the aid of Spine Navigation and Neuromonitoring (SSEP, MEP & D-wave). He is trained in both minimally invasive and open micro surgeries for spinal disorders.
Herniated discs can occur in any part of the spine. Herniated discs are commonly seen in the lumbar spine,cervical spine and rarely in thoracic spine. Surgical options for disc prolapse includes; anterior cervical discectomy, cervical foraminotomy, thoracic discectomy, lumbar microdiscectomy
In spinal canal stenosis compression of the spinal cord or the nerve roots due to degeneration of the spine. Procedures include Laminectomy with or without fusion
Spondylolisthesis is due to slippage of one vertebrae over the other caused by degeneration (Spondylolysis) or injuries. Treatment includes instrumented fusion at appropriate levels either through anterior (front) or posterior (back) of the spine. The surgical procedures include Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF), Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF).
Injuries that cause spinal cord or nerve root compression and cause instability are treated surgically. Dr. Biji Bahuleyan has many years of experience managing different types of spine trauma from craniovertebral junction to the sacral spine. Procedures include occipitocervical fusion, c1-c2 fusion, odontoid screw placement, cervical spine lateral mass fusion, corpectomies (cervical, thoracic and lumbar), pedicle screws and rods fusion
Surgical procedures include Foramen magnum decompression, Syringo-subarachnoid shunt and Tonsillectomy
Dr. Biji has advanced training in spinal cord tumour surgeries from the Neurosurgical oncology fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland USA and Spine surgery fellowship at the Harvard Medical School, Boston USA. Spinal tumors are removed with the aid of Spine Navigation and Neuromonitoring (SSEP, MEP & D-wave). He is trained in both minimally invasive and open micro surgeries for spinal tumors.
His neurosurgery department has endovascular and open surgical options to treat vascular disorders of the spine
These are commonly seen in children
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a neuromodulation technique that is used to treat neuropathic pain. The procedure involves implantation of electrodes on the spinal cord with power supplied by an implanted battery.
This involves implantation of catheter into the space around the spinal cord and delivery of pain medications
This involves the implantation of a catheter into the space around the spinal cord and delivery of baclofen to reduce spasticity.
