A 90-year-old man who had lost hope after suffering a severe head injury has been successfully treated at #MedicoverHospital thanks to the expertise of senior neurosurgeon Dr. Deepak and his team.
The elderly patient had slipped and fallen, briefly losing consciousness before regaining stability. However, over the next few months, he experienced persistent #headaches, dizziness, and balance issues. His condition suddenly worsened, and he lost consciousness again. Despite receiving treatment at a local hospital, there was no improvement, leaving his family in distress.
At this critical stage, the family brought him to Medicover Hospital, where Dr. Deepak and his team assured them that there was still hope. Given the patient’s advanced age and multiple health concerns—including #hypertension, diabetes, and a lung infection—surgery was a significant challenge. Additionally, his thin blood increased the risk of excessive bleeding during the procedure.
After stabilizing his condition, a #CTscan revealed a subdural hematoma with midline shift and uncal herniation, necessitating immediate surgical intervention.
Using a minimally invasive keyhole technique, Dr. Deepak successfully performed a burr-hole evacuation surgery-a procedure designed to reduce post-operative pain and enhance recovery. The surgery lasted just 45 minutes, and remarkably, within six hours, the patient regained consciousness and showed significant improvement.
“Timely intervention and the expertise of our medical team played a crucial role in saving the patient’s life. This case highlights the importance of quick decision-making and advanced neurosurgical techniques,” said Dr. Deepak.
