Best Craniotomy Surgeon in Guwahati
Craniotomy and Key Neurosurgical Procedures by Dr Naba J Borah
What is a Craniotomy?
A craniotomyis a type of brain surgery where a doctor temporarily removes a small part of the skull (the hard bone covering the brain). This is done to reach the brain and treat problems like bleeding, tumors, infections, or swelling. After the surgery is complete, the bone is put back in place and the skin is closed.
Procedures Related to Craniotomy
1. VP Shunt (Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt)
- The VP Shunt is a treatment used when there is too much fluid inside the brain (a condition called hydrocephalus).
- In this procedure, doctors insert a small tube (shunt) into the brain to drain the extra fluid.
- The tube carries the fluid from the brain to the belly (abdomen), where it gets absorbed safely by the body.
- This helps reduce pressure inside the head and prevent damage.
2. Cerebral Angioplasty
- Cerebral angioplasty is a procedure to open up narrowed or blocked blood vessels in the brain.
- Just like how a plumber clears a clogged pipe, doctors use a tiny balloon on the end of a thin tube (catheter) to widen the blood vessels.
- Sometimes, they also place a small mesh tube called a stent to keep the vessel open.
- This helps blood flow better to the brain and reduces the risk of stroke.
3. Aneurysm Clipping
- An aneurysm is a weak spot in a blood vessel in the brain that can bulge and may burst, causing bleeding (which is very dangerous).
- In aneurysm clipping, doctors open the skull (using craniotomy), find the bulging blood vessel, and place a small metal clip on it.
- This clip blocks blood from entering the aneurysm, preventing it from bursting.
- It’s a common and effective way to treat brain aneurysms.

We are extremely grateful towards Dr. N J Borah, the best Neurosurgeon who had successfully operated on the tumour in my sister's pituitary gland. Moreover, we had received the best care from the doctors as well as hospital staffs during our stay at the hospital. They are always ready to help and answer each of our queries patiently. The cost is quite reasonable too. A must visit if you are in need of this kind of medical care.

To me Dr Naba J Baura is the best doctor I've experienced. My daughter had pituitary tumor since childhood and was not detected since no symptoms was observed. Right from the first day I took her to GNRC for second opinion since she got black out frequently when she reached class 10 I'm very happy to meet him and having faith in his treatment I continued her treatment with him. He never do anything hastily but with proper investigations first. My daughter's tumor already had haemorrhage but luckily it was detected very fast and operation was successfully done on 9th March 2023.She's doing well now and I would say that Dr Naba was the best. He's also very approachable and very clear with his ways in treating his patients. I've recommended many who have any neurological problem to him. They were all happy with him.
Thank you so much Doctor.
