NEUROMODULATION

Neuromodulation is the process whereby an implantable device is used to reversibly alter the activity of the nervous system. This may be accomplished using small doses of medications or a weak electrical current. By altering the activity of certain pathways in the nervous system, pain may be immediately and dramatically relieved.

STEREOTACTIC SURGERY FOR BRAIN BIOPSY

Prof Shahzad was the first Neurosurgeon in Lahore General Hospital to start Stereotactic Surgery for Brain Biopsy. He performs stereotaxy by using worlds most precise Inomed RM frame and IPS Planning software compatible with MRI and CT Scan which gives precise location of submillimeter accuracy of the lesion using 3D Computer Work Station which is the most advanced software in the world for Deep seated lesions, Thalamic lesions, Brainstem Gliomas, Multiple lesions, Brain abscesses, Hematomas, cystic lesions, Very small lesions and old aged patients not fit for Open brain surgery. Surgery is done through an opening of 2mm in the skull and using a very thin probe which reaches the lesion with an immaculate submillimeter accuracy making it the most precise technique in the world. Patients are operated with local anaesthesia and discharged same day.

GENERAL BRAIN AND SPINE NEUROSURGERY

Prof. Shahzad among the Neurosurgeons of Pakistan has large experience in Brain and Spine surgery. He has operated on more than 1000 cases of each of Benign Brain Tumor Meningiomas , Malignant Brain Tumour ( Glioma , Astrocytoma , Metastatic ), Cerebral brain aneurysms( Anterior communicating artery aneurysm, Acom aneurysm and Middle cerebral artery aneurysms ) , Cerebellopontine angle tumour, Acoustic Neuroma Schwannoma Tumor, Pituitary tumour, Prolactinoma, Craniopharyngioma, Rathke’s Cleft Cyst, Sellar and Parasellar tumors and Brain Tuberculomas. Endoscopic Neurosurgery involving both Endoscopic brain surgery especially Transnasal transsphenoidal pituitary tumour surgery and Endoscopic third ventriculostomy(ETV), Endoscopic Repair of CSF Fistula, Leak, Rhinorrhea, Endoscopic excision of Encephaloceles, Endoscopic excision of Craniopharyngioma, Endoscopic excision of Colloid Cyst, Endoscopic Excision of Arachnoid Cyst, Endoscopic Excision of Petrous Apex lesions, Endoscopic excision of Skull Base Tumours, Endoscopic surgery of Clival Chordomas.Trigeminal neuralgia treated by Microvascular decompression MVD, Head Injury and Spine Injury.
