Cost Chiari Malformation Surgery in India
India is now providing the best medical healthcare facilities for chiari malformation surgery at the best and least available cost. Treatment of chiari malformations and syringomyelia is very dependent on the exact type of malformation, as well as progression in anatomy changes or symptoms. The surgeons provide excellent treatment facilities for the surgery during the stay. Medical expertise in India is at par with the western countries and most private hospitals in the country have internationally recognized quality standards for this surgery. People from around the world visit India for chiari malformation surgery at low cost and avail high quality medical treatment in some of the best healthcare facilities. Chiari malformations are treated if the patient is symptomatic, and physicians have determined that there are no complications from hydrocephalus. In some patients, consideration of a tethered cord is also explored. India offers several advantages in terms of being a healthcare destination.
Surgical treatment of these malformations depends on the type of malformation. The goal of surgery is to relieve the symptoms, or stop the progression of the syrinx or symptoms. Chiari I malformations may be treated surgically with only local decompression of the overlying bones, decompression of the bones and release of the dura (a thick membrane covering the brain and spinal cord), or decompression of the bone and dura and some degree of cerebellar tissue resection. Decompression is performed under general anesthesia. It consists of removing the back of the foramen magnum and often the back of the first few vertebrae to the point where the cerebellar tonsils end. This provides more space for the brainstem, spinal cord, and descended cerebellar components. A tissue graft is often spliced into this opening to provide even more room for the unimpeded passage of CSF. Occasionally, the cavity within the spinal cord resulting from hydromyelia can be drained with a diverting shunt tube. This tube can divert the fluid from inside the spinal cord to outside the cord, or be directed to either the chest or abdominal cavity. These procedures can be done together or separately. Chiari II decompression is treated similarly, but is usually restricted to decompressing the tissues in the spinal canal and leaving the back of the skull alone. The goal of Chiari surgery is optimal decompression of nerve tissue, reconstruction of normal CSF flow around and behind the cerebellum.
