TIRUPATI, March 1, 2025 – A 44-year-old woman from Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh, has made a full recovery after undergoing a complex pinhole brain surgery at Apollo Hospitals in Chennai. Guduru Subhashini suffered a stroke in December 2024 and was initially treated at local hospitals before being transferred to Chennai where she was diagnosed with an aneurysm.
Doctors at Apollo Hospitals performed a minimally invasive endovascular procedure, avoiding the need for a traditional craniotomy. Dr. Srinivasan Paramasivam, senior consultant neurosurgeon, highlighted the increasing number of brain-related cases in the region and the importance of dispelling misconceptions about brain surgery. He emphasized that modern technology allows for precise, minimally invasive procedures that preserve vital brain structures. Dr. S. Karthikeyan, senior consultant interventional neurologist, further explained the range of advanced neurosurgical procedures available at the hospital, including awake brain surgery and deep brain stimulation.
Subhashini’s husband, G. Srinivas, expressed his gratitude for the medical team’s efforts in restoring his wife’s health within three months. The successful surgery underscores the advancements in neurosurgery and the availability of sophisticated treatment options, even for patients in rural areas.
