Clinical Overview
About Neuro Surgery at South City Hospital
The Department of Neuro Surgery at South City Hospital delivers specialized neurosurgical and neuro-critical care for patients throughout Silchar, Cachar, and adjacent border regions. Brain and spinal injuries require immediate, hyper-accurate intervention where every minute directly affects neurological recovery.
Our department is supported by a dedicated Neuro-Intensive Care Unit (Neuro ICU) equipped with continuous intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring, neuro-ventilators, and round-the-clock neuro-trained nursing staff.
From emergency decompressive craniectomies for acute subdural and epidural hematomas to elective microscopic spinal decompressive procedures, our surgical teams operate with microscopic instruments and precision protocols designed to protect delicate neurological function.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Neuro Surgery
What should I do immediately if someone experiences a serious head injury?
Keep the patient still, avoid moving the neck, check breathing, and bring them straight to our 24/7 Emergency Department where a CT scan can be performed immediately.
Can back pain and sciatica be resolved without brain or spine surgery?
Yes, the vast majority of sciatica and disc cases resolve with medical management and physical therapy; surgery is reserved for severe nerve compression or weakness.
Does South City Hospital have ICU doctors on duty at night for brain trauma?
Yes, our intensive care units and trauma resuscitation teams are staffed on-site 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
