    Area of Science:

    • Medical Sciences
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Neurosurgery in India was initially performed by general surgeons before 1949.
    • The establishment of modern neurosurgery is attributed to Professor Jacob Chandy's return in 1949.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide an overview of the development and current state of neurosurgery in India.
    • To highlight common neurological conditions and surgical practices in the country.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical account of neurosurgical practice in India.
    • Discussion of prevalent neurological conditions and their management.
    • Overview of advanced surgical techniques like stereotaxic and microneurosurgery.

    Main Results:

    • India now has over 180 neurosurgeons, a significant increase since 1949.

  • Commonly encountered conditions include hydrocephalus, craniovertebral anomalies, and central nervous system infections.
  • Stereotaxic surgery is practiced for pain, epilepsy, and movement disorders; microneurosurgery is gaining traction.

    • Conclusions:

    • Neurosurgery in India has evolved significantly since its inception.
    • Despite progress, the neurosurgeon-to-population ratio remains low.
    • Advanced neurosurgical techniques are increasingly being adopted across various centers.
