Patient Experience
A 28-year-old software engineer from a middle-class family presented with sudden-onset severe headaches and visual disturbances. MRI revealed a colloid cyst obstructing the third ventricle. Dr. Nandish performed endoscopic resection through a minimally invasive approach. The patient returned to work within three weeks with complete resolution of symptoms and no neurological deficits.
A 65-year-old retired schoolteacher from a lower-income background was brought in with progressive weakness in all four limbs. Diagnosis showed severe cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Despite financial constraints, Dr. Nandish arranged for subsidized surgery and performed cervical laminectomy with fixation. The patient showed remarkable recovery over six months, regaining independent mobility with supportive care from her daughter.
A 42-year-old construction worker fell from scaffolding, sustaining a traumatic brain injury with an acute subdural hematoma. Dr. Nandish performed emergency craniotomy and evacuation. The patient, who had no family in Bengaluru, received coordinated rehabilitation through hospital social services. After three months of intensive therapy, he achieved near-complete functional recovery and returned to his village.
A 7-year-old girl from an affluent family was diagnosed with a complex posterior fossa tumor causing hydrocephalus. Dr. Nandish performed staged surgeries including tumor resection and VP shunt placement. The multidisciplinary approach involved pediatric oncologists and rehabilitation specialists. Two years later, the child remains tumor-free with normal developmental milestones, though requiring ongoing monitoring.
A 55-year-old auto-rickshaw driver with uncontrolled diabetes presented with trigeminal neuralgia refractory to medication. Dr. Nandish performed microvascular decompression surgery. The patient's wife actively participated in postoperative care and medication management. Symptoms resolved completely, allowing him to return to driving without pain medications after two months.
A 33-year-old pregnant woman in her second trimester developed a symptomatic meningioma. Dr. Nandish coordinated with obstetricians for optimal timing and performed surgery during the early third trimester. She delivered a healthy baby at term and made full neurological recovery. The family expressed profound gratitude for the careful balancing of maternal and fetal safety.
An 18-year-old college athlete suffered a cervical spine fracture during a rugby match. Dr. Nandish performed anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. With intensive physical therapy and strong family support, the patient regained full neck mobility and returned to non-contact sports within nine months, though with permanent restrictions on collision sports.
A 70-year-old farmer from a rural area presented with normal pressure hydrocephalus. After thorough assessment, Dr. Nandish performed VP shunt placement. The patient's cognitive and mobility symptoms improved dramatically within weeks. His sons, who had been caring for him, reported restored independence in daily activities.
A 45-year-old corporate executive with a family history of aneurysms was found to have an incidental unruptured cerebral aneurysm during a health check-up. Dr. Nandish recommended and performed endovascular coiling. The patient returned to work within two weeks with minimal disruption to his professional life and continues annual follow-ups.
A 12-year-old boy from an economically disadvantaged family presented with intractable epilepsy due to cortical dysplasia. Dr. Nandish performed epilepsy surgery with intraoperative monitoring. The surgery was partially funded through hospital charity programs. Seizure frequency reduced by 90%, dramatically improving his school performance and quality of life.
A 60-year-old retired army officer developed Parkinson's disease with severe medication-resistant tremors. Dr. Nandish performed deep brain stimulation surgery. The patient's wife actively participated in programming sessions. Tremors were successfully controlled, allowing him to resume daily activities independently with significantly reduced medication requirements.
A 25-year-old woman with neurofibromatosis type 2 presented with multiple intracranial tumors. Dr. Nandish performed staged surgeries for tumor resection while preserving neurological function. The patient, who lives alone, received comprehensive support from hospital social workers and community services. She maintains functional independence despite some residual hearing loss.
A 50-year-old homemaker suffered a spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Dr. Nandish performed minimally invasive endoscopic evacuation. Her husband and adult children rotated care responsibilities during recovery. The patient achieved near-complete functional recovery within four months, with only minor residual weakness in her left hand.
