Future Plan:
1) Development of fetal medicine unit
2) Development of Subfertility Unit (IUI/IVF)
Neurosurgery deals with surgical management of disorders of nervous system involving brain, spine and peripheral nerves. Various pathologies like traumatic, vascular, degenerative, neoplastic, developmental, infectious and autoimmune are managed at Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital in an evidence-based team approach. A comprehensive management strategy by availing latest technology for diagnosis, intervention and rehabilitation and employing services of various allied specialties are being offered.
At present, following services are available
- Neuro-trauma (brain, spine, peripheral nerves)
- Neuro-oncology (Adult and pediatric tumours)
- Neuro-vascular (Stroke, vascular malformations and aneurysm, moya-moya, carotid artery stenosis)
- Spine care (degenerative leading to disc prolapse, congenital, traumatic, tumours)
- Pediatric neurosurgery (developmental, vascular, hydrocephalus)
- Functional neurosurgery: (Epilepsy, Movement disorders, Pain)
- Restorative neurosurgery: (Brachial plexus injuries)
- Minimal invasive and endoscopic services (Brain, spine and peripheral nerves)
The Department was the first to introduce operating microscope with fluorescence imaging in Nepal. It was also the first to introduce endoscopic endonasal surgery for pituitary tumors and spine and is presently advanced level endoscopic services. It has the privilege of having operated the largest number of patients with brachial plexus injuries with good results, in the country.
In 2021, KMC would see a major upgradation in the department of Neurosurgery with major emphasis on providing latest and best in the field of neurosciences with validated equipment and evidence-based comprehensive team practice. Staffs of Neurosurgery, Neurology and Psychiatry, would be offering services as Advance Neurosciences Centre under one roof. To enhance the services, various equipment is being commissioned
- Latest neuro-navigation devices: for precise localization of deep-seated lesions and structures
- Robotics (first in Nepal): for navigated precise surgery of brain and spine
- Intra-operative CT scan (first in SAARC): to allow Intra-operative confirmation of steps of surgery
- Neuro-monitoring devices: to keep patient functionally intact during general anesthesia and perform mapping of functional areas of brain
- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (first in SAARC region): to map the functions of brain, prior to surgery, to enable safe resection of pathologies. This shall also allow therapeutic management of psychiatric ailments.
- Intra-operative 3Tesla MRI: to allow confirmation of complete removal of tumour and allow mapping of functions and structures
- Hybrid Cath lab (first in Nepal): to allow comprehensive management of vascular problems of brain and spine
- 3-D navigated robotic C arm (first in Nepal): to allow intra-operative confirmation of correct placement of spine instruments. This shall also allow platform for mobile Cath lab.
- CUSA: to quickly aspirate tumours without harming surrounding structures
- Navigated drills: to cut open bones and to punch holes precisely under navigational guidance
- 4K endoscopic and Exoscopic equipment (first in Nepal): for enhanced visualization and AI enabled augmented reality superimposition of radiological images on real time operative field
- Navigated high end microscope
- To house these latest equipment, modular brain suits are being designed
- Skill labs: to train the next generation of doctors
These combined with expertise and experience of the staffs would provide a benchmark for care of neurological problems in not only Nepal but in South east Asia.
- Regular health services activities in the department
- Routine Outpatient services (OPD), Sinamangal: 4 days in a week (except Sunday and Wednesday) Duwakot: presently halted due to COVID

- Ongoing: ENRICH-AF: The EdoxabaN foR IntraCranial Hemorrhage survivors with Atrial Fibrillation (ENRICH-AF) study. It is a prospective, randomized open-label, blinded end-point (PROBE), investigator-initiated, phase IV study that will define the efficacy and safety of edoxaban compared with standard of care (no antithrombotic therapy or antiplatelet monotherapy) for stroke prevention in high-risk AF patients and previous intracranial hemorrhage. This is sponsored by Hamilton Health Sciences (through Population Health Research Institute (McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada)
- Completed: Synapse-ICU Trial. Intracranial pressure monitoring in the intensive care unit: the international prospective observational study on intracranial pressure in intensive care
