Functional Neurosurgery involves procedures that target specific areas of the brain to treat neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, tremors, and dystonia. Dr. Amit Mukherjee employs techniques like deep brain stimulation (DBS) to modulate brain activity and alleviate symptoms. By precisely targeting the affected brain regions, these surgeries can significantly enhance the quality of life for patients with movement disorders, offering them greater control and independence.

Risks

• Infection.
• Bleeding in the brain.
• Hardware-related complications (if using devices like DBS).
• Stroke or other neurological deficits.
• Temporary or permanent changes in brain function.

Recovery Time

• Generally, 4-6 weeks, with some variations based on the procedure.

Suggestions

• Adhere to postoperative care instructions.
• Engage in regular follow-up appointments for device adjustments (if applicable).
• Participate in rehabilitation programs if recommended.

Advantages

• Significant reduction in symptoms of movement disorders.
• Improved daily functioning and quality of life.
• Potential to reduce or eliminate the need for medication.
