Stereotactic & Functional Neurosurgery
Stereotactic & Functional Neurosurgery uses highly precise, computer-guided techniques to treat movement disorders, chronic pain, and other neurological conditions. Dr. Rahul Prasad uses advanced imaging and pinpoint accuracy to target specific areas of the brain, improving symptoms while minimizing risk to healthy tissue.
What is Stereotactic & Functional Neurosurgery?
Stereotactic neurosurgery uses three-dimensional imaging and precise coordinates to target specific points deep within the brain through very small openings. Functional neurosurgery focuses on correcting abnormal brain activity that causes conditions such as tremors, movement disorders, and chronic pain. Together, these techniques allow highly accurate treatment, often through minimally invasive approaches such as deep brain stimulation.
Common Symptoms
- Uncontrolled tremors
- Muscle stiffness or rigidity
- Slow movements
- Involuntary movements
- Chronic nerve pain
- Difficulty with coordination
- Muscle spasms
- Balance problems
Conditions Treated
- Parkinson's Disease
- Essential Tremor
- Dystonia
- Trigeminal Neuralgia
- Chronic Pain Disorders

Frequently Asked Questions
It is a highly precise, image-guided approach used to target specific areas deep within the brain to treat movement disorders, chronic pain, and other neurological conditions.
Deep brain stimulation is a functional neurosurgery technique in which a small device delivers electrical signals to specific brain areas to control symptoms such as tremors and stiffness.
Yes. With advanced imaging, precise targeting, and experienced neurosurgical care, stereotactic and functional procedures are safe and highly accurate.
Recovery is often quicker than traditional surgery because the techniques are minimally invasive, though exact recovery time varies by procedure and patient.
